About

A tactical Emerging Markets strategy that sets risk by SPY’s 200‑day trend, buys oversold EM bounces, and flips bull/bear by a short‑term bonds‑vs‑stocks “heat” check. Uses 3x long/short in risk‑on, ~1x in risk‑off, with a T‑bill buffer; rebalanced daily.
NutHow it works
Tickers: SPY=S&P 500; EEM=Emerging Mkts; EDC=3x long EM; EDZ=3x short EM; IWM=small‑caps; IEI=3–7Y Treas.; IGIB=corp bonds; BIL/SHV=T‑bills. RSI=0–100 “heat” score. • SPY above 200‑day? Use 3x; else 1x/−1x. • If EEM very oversold (RSI<25): 68% EDC + 32% T‑bills. • Else choose bull/bear by which is hotter now: bonds (IEI/IGIB) vs stocks (IWM/SPY/EEM). Bonds>stocks → bearish (EDZ/EUM); else bullish (EDC/EEM). Holds some T‑bills. EM sectors: tech, financials, consumer, materials/energy.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this tactical EM strategy delivers superior risk-adjusted performance vs the S&P: OOS Sharpe ~2.49, OOS Calmar ~9, OOS alpha ~1.0, SPY beta near zero, with daily rebalancing and ballast to curb drawdowns.

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.
