About

Own SPY when the market is trending up; if tech is extremely “hot,” switch to a short‑term volatility play (UVXY). When the trend weakens, shift mostly to T‑bills with small SPY and Berkshire stakes.
NutHow it works
Uses simple trend + “overheating” checks. - SPY = S&P 500 fund. BRK/B = Berkshire Hathaway. SHV = T‑bills. UVXY = jumps when market fear spikes; decays if held. TQQQ = 3× tech fund used only as a heat gauge. Rules: If SPY > its 7‑day EMA (short average), own SPY—unless TQQQ’s 10‑day RSI (0–100 “hotness”) >79; then hold UVXY briefly. If SPY ≤ EMA, go defensive: ~60% SHV, 20% SPY, 20% BRK/B.
CheckmarkValue prop
Trend-following strategy: stay in SPY on uptrends, shift to cash/T-bills and Berkshire when risk rises. Lower max drawdown (3.88% vs 5.07%), Calmar ~4.95, and strong risk-adjusted out-of-sample performance 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.
