About

Rules-based, tactical strategy seeking leveraged upside with guardrails. A bond-vs-cash canary sets “calm” vs “danger,” short-term RSI times flips, and momentum picks safe havens when risk rises.
NutHow it works
1) Canary: if BND (broad bonds) beats BIL (T‑bills) over 60 days, it’s calm; else danger. Calm: if emerging‑markets trend is strong (fast > slow 1‑yr avg), hold TQQQ (3x Nasdaq). Else split UPRO (3x S&P) and TMF (3x long Treasuries). Danger: use SPY’s 10‑day RSI, a 0–100 heat gauge. Hot (>75): UVXY (volatility). Cold (<30): UPRO (rebound). Else hold the top 3 (30‑day trend) of UUP (USD), TMF, DBC (commodities), UGL (2x gold), IEO (oil stocks), XLU (utilities).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this rules-based leveraged strategy targets higher upside than the S&P 500: about 25.3% annualized vs 19.5%, powered by regime-based leverage and guardrails. Caveat: larger drawdowns (~50%) and lower risk-adjusted Sharpe than 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.
