About

A daily momentum switcher using preferreds and corporate bonds as risk gauges. It goes QQQ/TQQQ when risk-on and retreats to T‑bills or T‑bills+gold when risk-off. KMLM vs XLK decides leveraged tech vs cash in strong credit regimes.
NutHow it works
Daily it scores “recent strength” (RSI, a 0–100 momentum gauge) of credit‑sensitive funds—PFFD/PFFA (preferreds), IGIB (corp bonds)—vs VV (broad stocks). If risk looks strong it buys QQQ or TQQQ (tech‑heavy). If weak it holds BIL (T‑bills) or 50/50 BIL+GLD. A KMLM (managed futures) vs XLK (tech) check picks TQQQ vs cash.
CheckmarkValue prop
Diversified, credit‑sensitive momentum with risk‑on/risk‑off discipline. In out‑of‑sample tests it delivers solid risk‑adjusted results (Sharpe ~1.08, Calmar ~0.95) and low correlation to the S&P (beta ~0.37), offering diversification, drawdown control, and portfolio resilience.

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.
