About

A daily, rules‑based swing system: buy big equity dips with high‑octane ETFs (TQQQ/TECL/SOXL), and hedge or sit in T‑Bills/volatility funds when markets run hot. Trend and bond/commodity cues decide when to rotate into Treasuries, gold, or managed futures (KMLM).
NutHow it works
- Think of RSI as a speedometer for price. Very high = market “hot”; very low = “washed out.” - When the market is hot, it “folds”: moves to volatility hedges (UVXY/VIXY), cash‑like T‑Bills (BIL), or shorts. - When washed out, it “holds ’em”: buys high‑octane funds (TQQQ, SOXL, TECL, UPRO). - Trend checks (200‑day MAs) and bond/commodity signals decide when to prefer Treasuries, gold/commodities, or managed futures (KMLM).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return: 24.65% vs S&P 19.41%; disciplined hedging and diversification (volatility, Treasuries, managed futures) aim to capture dips, navigate spikes, and offer higher upside with controlled risk.

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.
