About

A daily, rules-based switch between offense and defense. It rides strong trends with leveraged tech/S&P, tilts to commodities when they lead, and shifts to hedges like UVXY, BTAL, Treasuries, or cash when markets look overheated, weak, or volatile.
NutHow it works
1) Big switch: If the S&P 500 (SPY) is above its long-term trend (200‑day avg), it’s in “Bull”; otherwise “Bear.” 2) In Bull: If prices look overheated (RSI ≈ speed of recent gains; high=overbought), it hedges with 75% UVXY (volatility) + 25% BTAL (anti‑beta L/S). If badly sold off (RSI very low), it buys the dip (TQQQ/UPRO). 3) Otherwise it rotates daily among: a tech‑surge sleeve (TECL/SOXL) or a diversifier sleeve (KMLM = managed‑futures, FTLS long/short, UUP, Treasuries); commodity tilts when DBC trends up; and “Battleship” momentum lists that pick leaders (SPY/QQQ/gold/commodities/international) or go to cash/bonds on stress. Vol spikes can trigger inverse S&P (SPXU). 4) In Bear: it mainly uses inverse Nasdaq (SQQQ/PSQ), occasionally flips to QQQ/TQQQ on rebounds, and can park in T‑bills/Treasuries. Rebalances daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy targets ~78% annualized return vs ~27% for the S&P, with Calmar ~4.46—strong risk-adjusted upside. Dynamic hedges and regime-switching seek higher long-run gains while managing drawdowns.

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.
