About

A daily, risk‑managed tactical plan: park most cash in T‑Bills and add a small, size‑capped slice of leveraged tech/market ETFs on dips; switch that slice to volatility, inverse Nasdaq, or long Treasuries when markets look overheated or the trend is weak.
NutHow it works
Daily checks trend and “temperature.” Trend: is SPY above its 200‑day average? Temperature: RSI (10‑day), a 0–100 heat meter (high=hot, low=cold). Keeps most money in T‑Bills (SHV). Small, risk‑capped slice goes to: TQQQ/TECL/UPRO=3x tech/market on dips; UVXY=volatility, SQQQ=−3x Nasdaq, or TLT=long Treasuries when overheated/weak. Sizing targets ~1% risk from the risky slice.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy shows higher risk-adjusted returns and smaller drawdowns vs the S&P 500: ~24.6% vs ~19.6% annualized; Sharpe ~1.32 vs ~1.10; max drawdown ~14.6% vs ~18.8%; Calmar ~1.69. Core cash in T-bills with selective hedged bets.

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.
