About

A quarterly, bond‑guided switch. If bonds beat T‑bills, go “risk on” with 4 leveraged growth ETFs that look most oversold. If not, go “risk off” into mixes of inverse Treasuries/equities, USD, staples, healthcare, gold, and long Treasuries.
NutHow it works
Every quarter it asks: have broad bonds (BND) beaten T‑bills (BIL) over the past 2 months? - Yes → Risk ON: buy 4 of 6 aggressive, leveraged funds (tech/semis/Nasdaq/S&P/financials/long‑Treasuries) that look most “oversold.” - No → Risk OFF: check long‑Treasury trend. • If rates look to be rising: split 60% across the 3 most “oversold” hedges (inverse Treasuries/equities, staples, energy, VIX, anti‑beta) and 40% in long‑USD (USDU). • If rates look to be falling: put 80% into 4 laggards among Treasuries, gold, staples, and healthcare (rest sits in cash).
CheckmarkValue prop
High upside with macro-timed leverage. OOS shows ~44% annualized return vs ~22% for SPY, Sharpe ~1.12, Calmar ~1.11—though drawdowns can run ~40% vs ~19% for SPY. A disciplined quarterly switch seeks bigger gains with managed risk.

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.
