About

A daily tactical mix that rides trends and buys sharp dips across stocks, bonds, and especially gold, then de‑leverages to cash/defensive sectors or hedges when markets look overheated. Uses leveraged ETFs—expect fast moves and higher risk.
NutHow it works
Daily it checks two things: trend (price vs moving averages) and “heat” (RSI: a 0–100 hot/cold speed gauge). If risk is on, it owns growth (SPY/QQQ; sometimes 2–3x UPRO/TQQQ) or long Treasuries (TMF). If overheated/falling, it shifts to cash‑like T‑bills (BIL/SHV), staples/utilities (XLP/XLU), or hedges (VIXY). A big sleeve trades gold trends/swings using GLD and leveraged pairs UGL (2x long) and GLL (−2x), plus miners (NUGT/JDST/DUST). May use UUP as cash. Rebalances daily.
CheckmarkValue prop

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.
