About

A rules-based plan that goes 3x Nasdaq in healthy markets, steps down to 2x when trends soften, and in fragile times uses RSI to shift into volatility, bargain 3x equity, or the strongest safe havens (Treasuries, gold/commodities, utilities/oil, dollar).
NutHow it works
First, a canary: if the TIPS bond fund (TIP) is up over ~3 months, conditions are normal; if not, fragile. Normal: if emerging markets (VWO) trend up, hold 3x Nasdaq (TQQQ); else use 2x Nasdaq/S&P (QLD/SSO). Fragile: use RSI (a quick heat meter) on the S&P 500—overheated (>75): hold VXX (vol). Washed‑out (<30): buy the most beaten‑down of 3x S&P, 3x Tech, or short‑term Treasuries. Otherwise, own the 3 strongest safe havens (long Treasuries, gold/commodities, utilities/oil, US dollar).
CheckmarkValue prop
This rules-based strategy aims for bigger upside than the S&P by riding 3x Nasdaq in bull markets, plus RSI-driven hedges and safe-haven rotations in stress. Out-of-sample annualized return: ~39.7% vs SPY ~22.7%, with higher drawdowns (≈57%).

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.
