About

Rules-based, daily trend/vol strategy: ride rallies with leveraged stock ETFs (QLD/SSO); when markets look overheated or fragile, rotate to hedges/shorts (BTAL/PSQ) and sometimes managed‑futures. Built to capture upside and sidestep deep selloffs.
NutHow it works
Each day it asks: risk-on or risk-off? It checks simple gauges: trend vs the 200‑day average; speed/temperature (RSI, a 0–100 meter of how fast price has been rising or falling; high=overheated, low=washed‑out); quick drop tests; and macro telltales (U.S. dollar, inflation‑linked bonds, commodities). In calm uptrends it holds leveraged stock funds (QLD, SSO). When stress appears, it shifts to hedges/shorts (BTAL, PSQ) and sometimes managed‑futures (KMLM). Several mini‑systems vote; weights spread risk.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample results show stronger upside capture in rallies and robust downside protection in declines, thanks to a diversified, rules-based trend/hedge approach. This aims for steadier gains and lower drawdowns than 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.
