About

A very active rule set that rides uptrends with leveraged stock funds, buys dips when markets look washed out, hedges when they look too hot, and uses bonds, gold, dollar, and managed‑futures (like KMLM) for diversification. High risk, daily adjustments.
NutHow it works
Each day it asks: is the market hot, cold, or in‑between? It uses simple gauges of recent moves (RSI) and trend (moving averages). Hot/overstretched → short‑term “fear” hedge (VIX funds) or T‑Bills. Cold/washed‑out → buy bounces in tech/semis (TQQQ/TECL/SOXL). Healthy trend → hold/rotate into leaders. Stress/rates shocks → switch to bond trades (TMF/TMV), gold/dollar, or trend diversifiers (KMLM/DBMF).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: about 34% annualized returns vs ~19% for the S&P, aided by diversified risk controls (bonds, gold, dollar, managed futures). Calmar ~1.27 signals solid risk-adjusted upside and resilience across regimes.

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.
