About

80% in dividend stock funds (SCHD, VYM) and mid-term Treasuries (IEI). 20% trades daily: if markets are very hot, buy UVXY; if tech is washed out, buy TECL; otherwise switch between 3x bull/bear biotech (LABU/LABD) using bond vs high-beta momentum. Very risky.
NutHow it works
- 80% equally in SCHD, VYM (dividend stock funds) and IEI (3-7 yr Treasuries). - 20% is traded daily using RSI (0-100 "heat" gauge): 1) If big index funds (QQQ or SPY) are very hot (RSI>80), buy UVXY (volatility). 2) Else if a 3x Nasdaq fund (TQQQ) is very cold (RSI<31), buy TECL (3x tech). 3) Else if long Treasuries (TLT) outrun high-beta stocks (SPHB), buy LABU (3x biotech); else LABD (3x inverse biotech). Core holds dividend stocks and Treasuries; the 20% sleeve hits volatility, tech, and biotech.
CheckmarkValue prop
Core: dividends + Treasuries, plus a 20% tactical sleeve. Out-of-sample Sharpe ~0.34 and beta ~0.41 signal lower market risk, with steady income and downside protection vs. the S&P 500.

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.
