About

A daily, rules-based swing/rotation strategy with a volatility kill‑switch. It trades 3× S&P/Nasdaq/Semis at extremes, otherwise rotates among healthcare, long Treasuries, commodities, and the US dollar, with a calmer dividend/managed‑futures fallback.
NutHow it works
Daily, rules-based. 1) Safety brake: if volatility (VIXM) is spiking (RSI>70), park in T‑Bills (BIL). 2) Three engines (S&P 500, Nasdaq, Semis): - If their 3× ETF is very hot (RSI>80), hold UVXY as an airbag; if very cold (RSI<30), buy that 3× ETF. - Otherwise: if bonds look healthy, hold TQQQ/UPRO/CURE; else rotate among CURE/TMF/DBC/USDU using ~6‑month trends, sized by recent volatility. RSI = a 0–100 “speedometer” of recent gains/losses.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: annualized return ~41% vs SPY ~21%; Sharpe ~1.53 vs ~1.33; drawdown ~17.6% vs ~18.8%; lower beta (~0.84) and stronger risk-adjusted growth. A smarter, more resilient way to beat the S&P.

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.
