About

A rules-based, daily rotation that buys dips in leveraged U.S. stocks/tech, shifts to commodities when they outpace the dollar, and otherwise holds gold/Treasuries, the dollar, managed futures, or volatility—using simple hot/cold gauges and a bond trend check to toggle risk.
NutHow it works
Daily, it rotates among: 3x stock/tech funds (SPXL, TQQQ, SOXL), commodities (PDBC), gold (GLD), Treasuries (TMF long, TMV short), the US dollar (USDU), volatility (UVXY), and managed futures (DBMF). It buys stock dips when a hot/cold gauge says “washed out,” hedges when overheated, and if stocks look weak it favors commodities beating the dollar; otherwise it moves to gold/Treasuries/dollar/managed futures. A bond trend check flips risk-on vs defense.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return ~35% vs SPY ~21%, with Calmar ~1.73 and diversified hedges across stocks, commodities, gold, dollar, and futures. Regime-aware rotation targets higher growth with managed risk (drawdowns ~20% vs SPY ~19%).

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.
