About

A levered, rules‑based switcher. A bond‑vs‑cash “canary” sets offense or defense. Short‑term “hot/cold” signals hedge froth or buy dips. In risk‑on, it favors TQQQ/UPRO; in stress or muddled markets, it rotates into TMF, UGL/UUP/DBC/XLU/IEO or uses VIX hedges (UVXY/VIXM).
NutHow it works
Step 1 (canary): Are bonds (BND) beating T‑bills (BIL) over 60 days? If no, go defensive: hedge when stocks look “too hot” (UVXY), buy big dips (UPRO), or hold the 4 strongest among dollar (UUP), long Treasuries (TMF), gold (UGL), commodities (DBC), utilities (XLU), oil & gas (IEO), volatility (VIXM). If yes and risk signs look healthy, go risk‑on with 3x Nasdaq (TQQQ)—but if overheated, switch to UVXY; otherwise blend S&P (UPRO), Treasuries (TMF) and VIXM, giving more to calmer ones. RSI = a short‑term hot/cold score.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample upside is compelling: ~24.5% annualized return vs SPY's ~18.3%, with lower market beta (~0.77) and smart hedges via regime switching. Note: stress periods may yield larger drawdowns; risk-adjusted return is slightly below SPY (Sharpe ~0.90 vs ~1.08).

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.
