About

A daily, rules‑based “calm the chaos” rotator. In good markets it rides high‑octane tech/semis; when things overheat or break, it hedges with inverse/volatility products or shifts to Treasuries/cash. Designed to capture upside and cap drawdowns.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks “weather” (trend, speed, stress). If the market is healthy, it leans into fast‑moving tech/semis (3x ETFs like TQQQ/TECL/SOXL). If it’s overheated or falling, it hedges (inverse ETFs, volatility funds) or hides in Treasuries/cash. It always picks the calmest playbook from the last few weeks.
CheckmarkValue prop
Dynamic, rules-based rotation that captures tech upside while hedging risk. In out-of-sample testing, it delivered ~18.5% annualized return with meaningful risk-adjusted metrics, offering diversified exposure and capital protection versus pure SPY.

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.
