About

A daily rules-based plan that front-runs extremes: hedge with VIX/bonds when markets run hot, buy washed-out tech after hard drops, and otherwise follow the 200‑day trend—rotating among leveraged stocks, inverse funds, bonds, or cash.
NutHow it works
Daily, it checks if markets are too hot or too cold using RSI (a short‑term “heat” gauge: high=overbought, low=oversold) and a 200‑day trend line. If overheated, it shifts into fear hedges: VIX funds (VIXY/UVXY), long bonds (TMF/EDV), and BTAL. After sharp drops, it either hedges or buys the dip with leveraged tech (TQQQ/SOXL). Otherwise it follows the 200‑day trend or parks in cash (BIL).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return ~42% vs S&P ~18%, with Calmar ~1.53 signaling strong risk-adjusted gains. A daily, regime-aware rotation plus hedging (volatility, leveraged tech, bonds) targets bigger upside while navigating 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.
