About

Shifts money each week among 3× stock ETFs—tilting toward the ones with the most stable recent moves. Seeks a smoother ride but remains high risk because all core holdings are leveraged U.S. stocks; an optional 2× gold sleeve can cut drawdowns.
NutHow it works
Each week it holds four triple‑leveraged stock funds: UPRO (S&P 500), UDOW (Dow 30 blue‑chips), TQQQ (tech‑heavy Nasdaq‑100), and SOXL (semiconductor makers). It looks at about the past month of daily ups/downs. Calmer funds get bigger weights; jumpier ones get smaller. Goal: smoother returns while staying in stocks. The description also mentions UGL (2× gold) as an optional diversifier to further soften big drops.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~59% annualized return vs SPY ~20%, with ~53% max drawdown. Calmar ~1.12 signals strong risk-adjusted growth; weekly rebalancing plus optional gold sleeve can cushion crashes; disciplined, rule-based approach.

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.
