About

Daily, rules‑based multi‑strategy. It mainly rides tech with leveraged ETFs when the trend is healthy, and quickly shifts to cash, bonds, or hedges (inverse Nasdaq and volatility) when markets look overheated or weak. Adds oil, gold, and commodities for balance.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks two simple gauges: trend (price vs moving averages) and short‑term heat (RSI: a 0–100 hot/cold score). If trend is up and not overheated, it rides winners (often leveraged tech). If overheated or falling, it moves to cash, bonds, or hedges (inverse Nasdaq or volatility). It also rotates into oil, gold, and commodities when they trend.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample tests suggest this rules-based strategy delivers higher risk-adjusted returns than the S&P 500 by riding tech momentum with selective leverage, and protecting with timely hedges and diversification into bonds, gold, and energy.

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.
