About

A daily, rule‑based “mode switcher” that chases tech/S&P with 3x funds in calm uptrends, flips to volatility hedges and T‑Bills when markets look overheated or drop fast, and uses bonds, commodities, and EM tilts as conditions change. Very high risk.
NutHow it works
Every day it asks: are stocks calm, overheated, or stressed? - Calm uptrend: buy 3x stock funds (TQQQ=3x Nasdaq, UPRO/SPXL=3x S&P). Sometimes also short volatility (SVXY). - Overheated or falling: switch to crash insurance (UVXY=long VIX), T‑Bills (BIL/SHV), hedges (BTAL), or long Treasuries (TMF). - If inflation rises, tilt to EM (EDC/EDZ) or commodities (UGL/AGQ/DBC). Many “kill switches” cut risk fast.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample results show dramatically higher upside with disciplined risk controls: OOS annualized return ~80% vs SPY ~21%; OOS Sharpe ~1.43 vs ~1.15; Calmar ~3.15. Regime-aware hedges boost resilience versus 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.
