About

Daily tactical mix of leveraged stocks and Treasuries with volatility hedges. Uses trend (moving averages), momentum/RSI, and bond signals to switch between offense (UPRO/TQQQ/TECL/SOXL), defense (BIL/SHY/USMV/MOAT), and hedges (TMF/TMV/UVXY). Very high risk.
NutHow it works
It blends several rule-sets that watch stocks, bonds, and volatility. If the S&P 500 is in a long uptrend, it leans aggressive; if not, it plays defense and can short. It pairs stock funds (UPRO/TQQQ/TECL/SOXL) with bond funds (TMF or TMV) based on Treasury trends. It buys volatility (UVXY) when markets get too hot, and parks in cash (BIL/SHY) when risk jumps. RSI is a 0–100 speedometer of recent moves; moving averages spot trends. Key tickers: UPRO=3x S&P, TQQQ=3x Nasdaq, TECL/SOXL=3x tech/semis, TMF=3x long US Treasuries (TMV=short), BIL/SHY=cash-like Treasuries, UVXY/VIXY=volatility, USMV/MOAT/PHDG=defensive stocks, UUP=US dollar.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: 39.4% annualized vs 25.1% for the S&P, Calmar 1.03. Tactical stock/bond/volatility tilts with hedges target higher upside while managing risk; expect larger drawdowns in spikes, but stronger long-term growth.

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.
