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
Dynamic, risk-managed rotation across the top market sleeves aims for higher long-run gains (out-of-sample 21.4% vs S&P 19.1%) with better risk control via hedges to Treasuries, USD, and gold during spikes—delivering stronger compounding 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.
