About

Switches between an aggressive mix of US stock ETFs (incl. small 2× slices) and a defensive blend of T‑bills, the most resilient bond, managed futures (DBMF), and inverse/volatility hedges, triggered by simple trend and staples‑vs‑market strength checks.
NutHow it works
Daily check: are SPY (S&P 500) and QQQ (Nasdaq-100) both below their 200-day average (a long-term trend line) AND is XLP (consumer staples) showing stronger short-term momentum than SPY (via RSI, a 0–100 recent-strength score), with XLP above SPY’s 200-day average? If yes → Defensive: 20% T-bills, 20% most resilient bond ETF, 30% DBMF (managed futures), 30% two least-volatile inverse/vol ETFs (from SH/PSQ/RWM/VIXY). If not → Aggressive: equal mix of SPY, QQQ, RSP, QQQE, plus small 2× slices (SSO, QLD). Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy beats the S&P 500 on risk-adjusted returns: Sharpe ~2.77 vs ~2.04, annualized return ~126% vs ~43%, and Calmar ~41, signaling far stronger upside capture with robust risk management.

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.
