About

Rides the 3 strongest stock-market segments with 3x funds, sizes them by calmness, and quickly cuts risk when fear or rising rates appear—temporarily moving to Treasuries, the US dollar, gold, or cash.
NutHow it works
Each day it picks the 3 stock segments with the best ~200‑day gains (Nasdaq, S&P 500, Dow, mid caps, small caps, emerging) and gives more weight to the calmer ones. It stays in their 3x funds unless fear spikes or rates trend poorly, then it shifts partly or fully to Treasuries, US dollar, and gold (or briefly to cash).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: 21.07% annualized return vs 19.69% for the S&P, derived from adaptive 3x sleeve rotation and risk-off hedges that trim losses during fear or rate spikes. Higher upside in trends, but larger drawdowns than the S&P.

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.
