About

Rules‑based, daily global rotation. Buys country/EM and U.S. tech ETFs when trends are healthy, parks in cash‑like T‑Bills or hedges when not, and sometimes buys deeply oversold funds for a bounce. Uses leverage in uptrends and inverse funds in downtrends.
NutHow it works
In plain English: it’s a rulebook that checks many markets each day and asks: “Is this going up and not too ‘hot’?” If yes, it buys that market’s fund (e.g., Saudi—KSA; Brazil—EWZ; China—MCHI). If things look weak or overheated, it either holds cash‑like T‑Bills (BIL) or uses hedges (BTAL, SH/PSQ). It sometimes buys the most “washed‑out” fund for a short‑term rebound and, in strong uptrends, may use faster funds (like 2x QQQ—QLD, 2x EM—EET). Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample robust, global rotation strategy that captures trend strength while hedging downturns. It leverages uptrends and mean-reversion to aim for higher risk-adjusted returns and lower drawdowns versus the S&P 500.

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.
