About

Rules-based, daily swing between offense and defense. In uptrends it piles into the fastest movers (often 3× S&P/Nasdaq/Dow). When warning lights flash (volatility, rates, momentum), it shifts to Treasuries, cash, dollar, utilities, gold, and commodities.
NutHow it works
Daily checklist: 1) Uptrend? It compares short vs long moving averages of the S&P 500 (a moving average = average price over the last 20/50/200 days). 2) Stress? It watches VIX (via VIXY), bonds/inflation (TIP), and RSI (a 0–100 heat‑meter). If green: buy 2–3 fastest ETFs (often 3× SPXL, TQQQ, UDOW or top SPY/QQQ/DIA names). If red: rotate to Treasuries (TMF), T‑Bills (BIL), dollar (USDU), utilities (XLU), gold (UGL/GLD), commodities (PDBC/DBC). 3× funds = high volatility.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~40.31% annualized return vs SPY ~23.68%, Calmar ~1.24, beta ~0.97—similar risk but far higher upside. Drawdowns ~32.54% vs ~18.76% for SPY; a multi-signal trend/defense with strong risk-adjusted returns.

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.
