About

A rule-based, high-octane plan that swings between leveraged US stocks and Treasuries, buys deep tech dips, and can short stocks or bonds when trends turn down. It tilts toward recent winners and shifts only when preset signals change.
NutHow it works
Goal: swing hard when trends are strong; get defensive or buy deep dips when they aren’t. Tools: UPRO=3x S&P 500, TMF=3x long Treasuries, TLT=long Treasuries, TMV=3x short Treasuries, SPXU=3x short S&P 500, TECL=3x tech, SHY=short‑term Treasuries. 1) Check bonds’ long trend (TLT). 2) Check stocks’ trend (SPY 200‑day). 3) If both strong: split UPRO/TMF (or TLT) and tilt to the recent winner. 4) If stocks weak: buy tech dips (more if more oversold) and lean on bonds; if bonds also weak, short bonds and sometimes short stocks. Changes only when rules flip (5% band).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~28.8% annualized return vs 22.7% for the S&P, with Calmar ~1.05. Trend-driven, leveraged stock/bond bets aim for higher upside, but expect larger drawdowns in stressed markets.

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.
