About

Half in cash; the rest rotates using a quick “hot/cold” read from tech to switch between a volatility hedge (VIXM), leveraged tech (TECL), long Treasuries (TLT), or the strongest recent broad stock fund (SPY/QQQ/VTI).
NutHow it works
Keeps about 50% in cash. The other half rotates using a 10‑day RSI (a “hot/cold” score of recent moves) read from TQQQ, a fast tech fund. - Very hot (>75): hold VIXM (volatility hedge). - Very cold (<35): hold TECL (3× tech, high risk). - Else, if SPY looks weak (RSI<45): hold TLT (long Treasuries). - Otherwise: own the recent 1‑month winner among SPY, QQQ, VTI.
CheckmarkValue prop
This strategy delivers stronger risk-adjusted returns out-of-sample (Sharpe 3.68 vs SPY 2.88), higher Calmar 16.7, and similar drawdowns, with a 50% cash overlay to dampen volatility while seeking growth through regime-driven rotations.

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.
