About

Aggressive, rules‑based Financials trader: rides a 3x bull in uptrends, flips to a 3x bear or short‑term bonds when weak, and, in some periods, follows a bond/rates module that rotates into Treasuries, gold, USD, or dividend stocks.
NutHow it works
It tries to ride the U.S. Financials sector hard using a 3x bull fund, flip to a 3x bear or short‑term bonds when conditions sour, and sometimes hand control to a rates‑driven “Commander Bond” module. It checks: short‑term “hot/cold” (RSI), long‑term trend (200‑day moving average), and recent 60‑day returns. If broad bonds beat cash, it’s risk‑on (own Financials). If not, it holds mixes of Treasuries, gold/silver, U.S. dollar, and dividend stocks depending on whether rates are rising or falling.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~36% annualized returns vs ~16% for the S&P, with Calmar near 1 and disciplined risk controls. A regime-driven mix of 3x Financials and hedges (bonds/gold/USD) seeks higher upside with diversified risk.

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.
