About

Daily trend switch: ride strong stock trends with 3x S&P/tech exposure (and a 55/45 stocks‑plus‑Treasuries mix in calm, falling‑rate regimes); when trends weaken or stress rises, move to T‑bills, Treasuries, the dollar, or inverse/volatility hedges.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks the S&P 500’s short‑term vs 100‑day average. If trend is up, it leans into fast‑moving 3x stock funds (SPXL/UPRO; sometimes TECL/SOXL/TQQQ/FAS). If trend or stability worsens, it shifts to T‑bills (BIL), Treasuries (TMF/TMV/TBF), the U.S. dollar (USDU), inverse S&P (SPXS), or volatility (UVXY). Why these? Stocks for growth; bonds/dollar/volatility to cushion drops. RSI = a hot/cold speed gauge; moving averages = trend filters.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy aims for higher upside than SPY by riding major trends and using hedges. OOS return 26.5% vs 22.5% for SPY, with regime-based risk controls that seek growth while cushioning drawdowns.

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.
