About

A daily rules-based strategy that shifts between leveraged US stock ETFs and defensive hedges (Treasuries, cash, dollar, inverse/volatility) using S&P 500 trend lines, “hot/cold” momentum gauges, volatility, and bond trends to decide when to press or protect.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks simple “trend lines” on the S&P 500. If short‑term is weak, it uses a cautious playbook: in a long‑term uptrend it holds turbo S&P; if overheated it flips to a volatility hedge; if trends are poor it picks bond/stock hedges by recent swings. If short‑term is strong, it runs an HFEA core: in calm, 55% 3x S&P + 45% 3x long Treasuries; if fear (VIX) spikes, go 3x bear; if bonds lead, rotate among 3x tech/semis/fin/Nasdaq/S&P; if rates rise, tilt to cash/US dollar/shorts.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: 26.5% annualized return vs SPY’s 22.5%, thanks to dynamic hedging that targets bigger upside in uptrends while protecting in turmoil. Note: higher drawdowns can occur in severe markets; oos Sharpe trails 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.
