About

Aggressive, rules‑based strategy that rides tech‑led bull markets with leveraged ETFs, then cuts risk fast in sell‑offs by rotating into bonds, defensives, gold, dollar, or short hedges. Includes energy/managed‑futures sleeves for rising‑rate regimes.
NutHow it works
Rules-based trend follower. If the S&P 500 is above its 200‑day average, it mainly owns fast‑moving US stocks (esp. tech) via 2x funds (QLD, SSO). Signals (RSI—a 0‑100 “hot/cold” meter, short‑term drops, volatility) make it cut risk fast into bonds, low‑vol stocks, dollar, gold, or a QQQ hedge. A side sleeve adds energy/commodities and managed‑futures. If tech lags KMLM or SPY breaks trend, it parks in bonds.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this rules-based strategy rides tech uptrends with levered ETFs, then quickly hedges to bonds/gold/futures—delivering stronger risk-adjusted returns and smaller drawdowns than the S&P 500 while preserving upside in rallies.

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.
