About

Daily, tactical “risk‑on/risk‑off” strategy. In uptrends it hedges with volatility when markets look overheated, buys aggressive 3× equity funds when washed‑out, or runs a volatility‑scaled 3× basket; in downtrends it mostly shorts the Nasdaq. Very high risk.
NutHow it works
First it checks trend: is the S&P 500 above its 200‑day average? If yes (uptrend), else (downtrend). Uptrend: if a short‑term “speed” score (RSI) says stocks are overheated, it buys volatility (UVXY) plus an anti‑beta hedge (BTAL). If washed‑out, it buys 3× Nasdaq/S&P (TQQQ/UPRO). Otherwise it holds a volatility‑scaled mix of 3× stock‑sector funds and long Treasuries, unless stress flags flip to managed futures (DBMF) or short Treasuries (TMV). Downtrend: it mostly shorts the Nasdaq (SQQQ/PSQ), with brief longs if trends improve. Rebalances daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample upside is compelling: ~39.7% annualized return with Calmar ≈ 1 vs S&P ~18%, aided by dynamic hedges and regime switching. Accept higher volatility and drawdowns for potential higher growth.

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.
