About

Seeks smoother returns from very fast-moving stock funds by giving bigger weights to the calmer ones over the past ~5 weeks and smaller weights to the bumpier ones. Rebalanced monthly. Optional gold can cushion declines but tends to reduce returns.
NutHow it works
Each month it spreads money across five funds that track US stocks at 3x speed: UPRO (S&P 500), UDOW (Dow 30), TQQQ (big tech via Nasdaq-100), TECL (broad tech), SOXL (chipmakers). It checks the last ~25 trading days. The bumpier a fund has been (“volatility”), the smaller its slice; the calmer, the larger. Weights are scaled to 100% and reset monthly. Optional: adding a bit of UGL (2x gold) can soften drops but usually trims returns.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy targets big upside: ~45% annualized returns vs ~20% for the S&P, by tilting toward steadier 3x ETFs and dialing down the wildest. Higher risk/drawdowns, but strong risk-adjusted potential (Calmar ~0.83).

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.
