About

A barbell: 25% actively toggles between 3x tech bets and hedges using trend and a 0–100 “heat” score (RSI); 75% stays in bonds and staples. In uptrends it rides tech; in stress it buys dips or shifts to volatility, shorts, or bonds.
NutHow it works
Mix: 25% “turbo” sleeve; 75% safer ballast (IEI bonds + XLP staples). Trend first: if the S&P 500 is above its 200‑day average, it favors 3x tech/Nasdaq (TQQQ/TECL). If the market looks “too hot” by a 0–100 heat score (RSI) or short-term averages, it hedges with volatility funds (UVXY/VIXY) or long bonds (TMF). If not in an uptrend, it buys sharp dips (oversold heat score) in TECL/SOXL/UPRO. If no dip, it defends: cut leverage, sometimes short Nasdaq (PSQ/SQQQ), or switch to bonds (TLT).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample barbell strategy: tech upside with hedges and ballast. It shows lower drawdown than the S&P and solid risk-adjusted returns (Calmar ~1.15) over 1015 backtested days—more resilience, less downside risk than SPY.

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.
