About

A mostly defensive portfolio (75% Treasuries + staples) with a 25% tactical sleeve that rides tech strength using leveraged ETFs and quickly hedges or flips short when markets overheat, break trend, or suffer sharp drawdowns.
NutHow it works
75% stays defensive in IEI (Treasuries) and XLP (consumer staples). 25% is an active sleeve that rides tech uptrends with leveraged ETFs (TQQQ/TECL/SOXL/UPRO) and flips to hedges (SQQQ/PSQ, UVXY/VIXY, TMF) when risk rises. Signals: SPY over its 200‑day = bull; under = bear. RSI(10) is a 0–100 speedometer of recent moves; >80 overheated (hedge), <30 washed‑out (buy dips). Price vs 20‑day guides trend. Big 2–12 mo drops cut risk. If bonds (TLT) outrun inverse tech (SQQQ), go long; otherwise hedge/short.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy offers beta ~0.73, drawdowns ~18% (vs ~18.8% S&P), Calmar ~1.18, and ~21.2% annualized return—close to the S&P but with better downside protection and selective tech exposure.

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.
