About

Mostly holds VT (global stocks). Uses a 200‑day SPY trend filter. In hot uptrends, flips to UVXY to bet on a volatility spike. In downtrends, sometimes shifts to TLT (long Treasuries) if weakness persists but isn’t deeply oversold. Rebalances daily.
NutHow it works
Daily: 1) Big trend check—Is the S&P 500 (SPY) above its 200‑day average? (That marks an uptrend.) 2) If uptrend and 10‑day “heat meters” (RSI) on fast, triple‑levered stock funds TQQQ or SPXL read very hot (>~80), hold UVXY (a fear gauge that can jump in shocks). Otherwise hold VT (global stocks). 3) If downtrend, usually hold VT; only switch to TLT (long US Treasuries) when not deeply oversold and TQQQ is below its 20‑day average.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~30% annualized return vs ~20%, max drawdown ~9.5% vs ~16.6%, Sharpe ~1.60 vs ~0.98, Calmar ~3.15. Higher upside with lower risk—stronger risk-adjusted growth than the S&P 500.

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.
