About

Daily rules-based rotation across tech, Treasuries, gold, oil/gas and EM. Buys trends and dips, hedges when overheated—mostly via leveraged/inverse ETFs—with cash/defensive fallbacks to limit damage.
NutHow it works
It splits money across ~10 mini-playbooks and checks two things each day: trend (price vs moving averages) and stretch (RSI, a “speedometer” of recent up/down moves). If an area trends up, it holds a bull ETF (often 2–3x). If overheated, it hedges/shorts (UVXY, PSQ, TMV). If washed‑out, it buys the dip. If unclear, it parks in T‑Bills (BIL) or Staples (XLP). Uses: Nasdaq (QQQ/TQQQ), Treasuries (TMF/TMV), gold (UGL/GLL), oil (UCO/DBO/SCO), nat gas (FCG/KOLD/UNG), EM (EEM/EDC/EDZ), cash (BIL), vol (UVXY/VIXY).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, a daily rules-based multi-asset rotation across tech, bonds, gold, oil and EM. It delivers ~34.0% annualized return vs ~31.7% for the S&P, with Calmar ~2.24 signaling strong risk-adjusted upside despite a higher drawdown (~15.2% vs 12.1%).

FAQ

A Composer symphony is an automated trading strategy that executes trades based on parameters of your choice. Some symphonies are similar to holding one ETF in normal conditions and rotating to a different ETF when market conditions shift, for example a 5% drop in the S&P 500, while others use complex rules with dozens of triggers. However, complex doesn’t always mean better. A simple, well-structured symphony can be just as effective as an intricate one. Learn more about how symphonies work here.
