About

A daily, rules‑driven “offense/defense” switcher. It buys leveraged tech/semis/S&P when the trend is healthy and prices look washed out, and flips to cash, Treasuries, gold/dollar, or inverse/volatility hedges when markets overheat or roll over.
NutHow it works
Each day the strategy checks four things: trend (is the S&P 500 above its 200‑day line?), how “hot/cold” prices are (RSI), sudden pops/drops, and market volatility. - If trend is up and prices look washed out, it buys high‑octane funds (TQQQ, SOXL, TECL, UPRO). - If markets get hot or crack, it shifts to cash/T‑bills, Treasuries, gold/dollar, or “airbags” (SQQQ, SOXS, UVXY).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample performance: ~137% annualized return vs ~27% for the S&P; Calmar ~9.36 vs ~5.3; higher Sharpe. Trend-following with hedges delivers bigger upside and disciplined risk versus 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.
