About

A daily, rule‑based switcher. Default is global stocks (VT). In uptrends it briefly hedges with a volatility fund (UVXY) when markets look overheated; in downtrends it mostly stays in VT but shifts to long Treasuries (TLT) when weakness builds.
NutHow it works
Checked daily. Trend: SPY above its 200‑day avg = uptrend; below = downtrend. RSI (0–100) shows heat: >~80 very hot, <~30 very cold. Uses: VT=global stocks; TLT=long US Treasuries; UVXY=volatility fund (risky). TQQQ/SPXL=3× Nasdaq/S&P; gauges only. Rules: Uptrend → if TQQQ RSI>79 or SPXL RSI>80, hold UVXY; else VT. Downtrend → if TQQQ RSI<31 or SPY RSI<30, hold VT; else if TQQQ below its 20‑day avg, hold TLT; else VT.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: 31.5% annualized vs 19.4% S&P, lower drawdown (~9.5% vs 16.6%), higher Sharpe (~1.75 vs ~1.0). A daily, rule-based mix of global stocks and bonds with a volatility hedge for stronger risk-adjusted growth.

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.
