About

A daily, rules‑based “risk on/risk off” system. When the S&P 500 trend is healthy, it uses leveraged stock exposure (often paired with long Treasuries). When trends weaken or stress rises, it shifts to cash‑like T‑Bills, USD, inverse equity, or long/short Treasuries.
NutHow it works
It checks if the S&P 500’s recent price is above or below its longer‑term average. If strong, it leans into leveraged stock funds or a 55/45 mix of 3x stocks/3x long Treasuries; if risk rises, it moves to cash‑like T‑Bills. If weak, it rotates quickly among bullish/bearish stocks or long/short Treasuries using “overheated/oversold” and volatility cues.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~30% annualized return vs ~22% for the S&P 500, enabled by a dynamic risk-on/risk-off system with hedges and leverage. Bigger upside in up markets; note larger drawdowns in stress.

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.
