About

A daily switch: when major indexes are in downtrends and Consumer Staples lead, it moves to T‑bills, stable bonds, managed futures, and inverse/volatility hedges. Otherwise it holds broad U.S. stocks (cap‑ and equal‑weight) with a small dose of leverage.
NutHow it works
Checked daily. If SPY (S&P 500) and QQQ (Nasdaq‑100) are both below their 200‑day averages (a long‑term trendline) and Consumer Staples (XLP) shows stronger short‑term momentum than SPY (RSI = a 0–100 recent‑strength score) and XLP is above SPY’s long‑term line, it shifts to Defense: 20% T‑bill ETFs, 20% the most stable bond ETF, 30% managed futures (DBMF), 30% two low‑vol inverse/vol funds (SH/PSQ/RWM/VIXY). Otherwise, it splits equally across SPY, QQQ, RSP, QQQE, plus small slices in 2× SSO and QLD.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample Calmar ~14.36 and a disciplined regime-switching mix of cash-like Treasuries, stable bonds, managed futures, and hedges offer greater risk-adjusted resilience than the S&P 500, with upside participation and downside cushioning in stressed markets.

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.
