About

A daily trend-following rotation across Energy, long U.S. Treasuries, and Gold. It buys strength (sometimes with 2x/3x funds), flips to inverse funds or parks in T‑bills when weak. High turnover and risk, especially in leveraged products.
NutHow it works
Daily, it splits money across Energy, Long Treasuries, and Gold. It rides uptrends using moving averages (avg of recent prices); if weak, it moves to cash-like T‑bills or, in bonds/oil/gas, uses inverse funds. RSI (0–100 ‘heat’) helps avoid buying after big run‑ups. Key tickers: GLD=gold; XLE=energy; UNG=nat gas; BOIL/KOLD=2x nat gas; NRGU/NRGD=3x oil; FCG=nat gas stocks; ICLN/TAN/FAN=clean energy; TMF/TMV=3x long/short 20+yr Treasuries; TLT/BND/IEF=bonds; SHV/SHY=T‑bills.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample trend strategy offers strong risk-adjusted results: Calmar 3.23, max drawdown 6.5% (vs SPY ~7.5%), positive alpha, and diversified exposure to energy, gold, and Treasuries—lower risk with upside potential vs 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.
