About

Rule‑based switch: pursue tech or short‑volatility when conditions are calm; rotate into managed futures, bonds, dollar, gold/anti‑beta, or VIX hedges when stress appears. Heavy use of leveraged and volatility ETFs; fast‑moving and high risk.
NutHow it works
Reads four dials: stock trend, credit (junk bonds), market fear (VIX), and rate trend. If calm and tech leads, it buys TECL (3x tech) or SVIX (benefits when fear fades), picking the one most washed‑out short term. If a diversifier leads (KMLM = managed‑futures in commodities/rates/currencies), it rotates among KMLM, FTLS (long/short equity), Treasuries (TMF/TMV), US dollar (UUP), and volatility funds. In stress, it shifts to short‑term bonds, Treasuries, gold/anti‑beta (BTAL), or VIX hedges. RSI = 0–100 heat gauge; low=washed‑out, high=hot.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: annualized return ~84% vs SPY’s ~19%, and risk-adjusted Sharpe ~1.43 vs ~1.14. Drawdowns higher in extreme events (~29.7% vs ~18.8%), but Calmar ~2.83 shows strong downside control and crisis resilience through tactical macro diversification.

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.
