About

A daily, rules-based “offense/defense” mix that rotates among leveraged US stocks, long/short Treasuries, cash-like T‑bills, and volatility hedges using stock trends, bond signals, and hot/cold (RSI) readings to chase uptrends and sidestep stress.
NutHow it works
Daily it checks: 1) Is the S&P 500 in an uptrend (price above long‑term averages)? 2) Are stocks “hot” or “washed out” (RSI = a hot/cold meter, 0–100)? 3) Are bonds strong or weak? If trend is up and not too hot, it leans into leveraged stocks, often paired with long Treasuries. If overheated or crashy, it shifts to cash, shorts bonds, or buys volatility. Uses leverage; swings can be large.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: 38.17% annualized return vs SPY 24.59%, Calmar about 1, solid risk controls. Expect larger drawdowns (about 38% vs SPY ~19), but much higher upside—growth and diversification, not for ultra-conservative investors.

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.
