About

A daily, rules‑driven “calm the chaos” rotation that leans into leveraged growth in clear uptrends and snaps to Treasuries, cash, commodities, or volatility/inverse hedges when markets get hot or fall—aiming for big upside with controlled drawdowns.
NutHow it works
Each day it decides “offense or defense.” If trends are healthy, it buys fast‑moving index funds (e.g., TQQQ=3x Nasdaq; SOXL/TECL=3x semis/tech; UPRO/SPXL=3x S&P). If price looks overheated or falling (RSI is a price “speedometer”), it flips to hedges (SQQQ/SOXS/TECS inverse; VXX volatility). Defense parks in Treasuries (TLT; TMF/TMV=3x long/short), cash (BIL), USD (UUP/USDU), gold (UGL/GLD), or commodities (DBC). It favors sleeves with smaller recent drops and rebalances daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy targets bigger upside (≈28% annualized vs SPY’s 21%), with dynamic hedging across bonds, cash, and volatility; but it carries higher drawdowns (≈38% vs ≈19%) and a lower risk-adjusted Sharpe (~0.75 vs ~1.23).

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.
