About

A daily, rules-based “seatbelt” for a tech-heavy portfolio: buy dips in high-beta ETFs when trends are healthy, and quickly hedge or flip short when markets overheat or volatility spikes, using VIX funds, bonds, gold, BTAL, and KMLM for defense.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks two things: trend and heat. Trend: is the market above its long-term average? Heat: are prices “hot” or “cold” based on recent moves. - If healthy/cool: buy dips in tech/semis (TQQQ/TECL/SOXL). - If overheated or fear jumps: hedge or move to VIX funds, cash, bonds, gold, BTAL, or KMLM. - If trends break: use inverse funds (SQQQ/TECS/SOXS).
CheckmarkValue prop
Robust out-of-sample, rules-based system that buys tech dips and hedges spikes with VIX, bonds, gold, BTAL, and KMLM. Aims to outperform the S&P 500 on a risk-adjusted basis by reducing drawdowns and capturing upside.

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.
