About

Daily, it splits across S&P 500, Nasdaq‑100, Dow, and small‑caps. In uptrends it leans into winners (often 2×/3× funds); if markets look overheated it hedges with VIXY; in downtrends it tries small bounces or parks in BTAL.
NutHow it works
Four buckets: S&P 500 35%, Nasdaq‑100 30%, Dow 20%, Small‑caps 15%. Rebalanced daily. Uptrend (price > 200‑day avg): if short‑term “heat” (RSI; high=overheated) is extreme across big U.S. groups, that bucket flips to VIXY (often up when fear jumps). Otherwise it buys the 1×/2×/3× version with the strongest recent gains. Downtrend: if tech is washed‑out, try TECL (3× tech); if the index is above its 30‑day avg, re‑enter with the least aggressive fund; else sit in BTAL (defensive).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: diversified four-sleeve US equity with tactical hedges and levered bets, delivering higher risk-adjusted growth. Sharpe ~1.35 vs 1.10; Calmar ~2.94; annualized return ~71.7% vs SPY ~19.7%.

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.
