About

A daily‑rebalanced, rules‑based global rotation that times entries into emerging‑market and country ETFs using simple trend and “too hot/too cold” signals, falling back to cash/hedges in risk‑off, and using some leveraged funds to press winners.
NutHow it works
It rotates among country/EM funds when two simple checks agree: trend and a short‑term “too hot/too cold” gauge (RSI, 0–100). If trend is up and RSI isn’t overheated, it buys that market. If not, it moves to T‑Bills/Treasuries (BIL/TLT), uses hedges (SH/PSQ/BTAL), or buys a recently sold‑off ETF for a bounce. In strong markets it sometimes uses 2x funds (QLD, EET). Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this rules-based global rotation delivers higher risk-adjusted returns than the S&P 500 by timing EM/country entries, hedging risk, and selectively leveraging winners—lower drawdowns with upside in diverse regimes.

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.
