About

Aggressive, rules-based strategy that times emerging markets, mainly flipping between 3x bull (EDC) and 3x bear (EDZ). Uses trend, “stretched” moves (RSI), bonds-vs-stocks, inflation and volatility checks; may add tech in strong markets; rebalances daily.
NutHow it works
It’s a rule-based switch for emerging markets. It mainly flips between a 3x bullish fund (EDC) and a 3x bearish fund (EDZ). It checks: 1) long-term trend (vs 200-day average), 2) whether moves are “stretched” using RSI (a simple hot/cold gauge: very low = washed out, very high = overheated), 3) if safer assets (bonds) are beating stocks, 4) inflation/volatility. In good times it may add a small tech turbo; in stress it parks in T‑bills.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return ~28.9% vs SPY ~19.1%; Calmar ~3.11 signals superior risk-adjusted gains. Drawdowns can be larger (~9.3% vs 5.1%), but disciplined EM timing targets higher long-term upside 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.
