About

A weekly, regime‑switching strategy that flips between all‑in 3x Nasdaq, a volatility‑balanced mix of 3x tech/semis/financials/long Treasuries, a defensive gold/dollar/bond basket, and—rarely—an all‑commodities tilt when commodities surge fast.
NutHow it works
Weekly, it chooses a “regime.” If short‑term bonds look fine, it goes all‑in 3x Nasdaq (TQQQ). If bonds are weak, it first checks for a big commodity surge; if yes, it piles into commodities/miners. Otherwise it uses a switch: when markets look damaged, it holds mainly gold, the US dollar, and long Treasuries; when they look OK, it holds a volatility‑balanced mix of 3x Nasdaq, semis, financials, and long Treasuries. Calmer assets get bigger weights.
CheckmarkValue prop
Adaptive weekly regime strategy delivers superior risk-adjusted returns. OOS Sharpe 1.89 vs SPY 1.45; OOS annualized return 98.8% vs 23.3%; Calmar 2.79. Higher drawdowns (~35% vs ~19%), but notably higher upside with disciplined risk controls.

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.
