About

A daily, two‑sleeve tactical plan that rotates among stocks (SPY/QQQ), 3x bulls (SPXL/TQQQ/TECL), bonds/cash (TLT/IEF/AGG/BIL), volatility (VIXY), or inverse funds (SH/SDS/PSQ/SQQQ) using a simple “heat” score (RSI), long‑term trend, and inflation trend.
NutHow it works
Split 50/50 into S&P 500 and Nasdaq‑100 sleeves; rebalance daily. In each sleeve: 1) Use inflation trend (RINF vs 200‑day) to choose a safer or normal playbook. 2) If stocks are extremely “hot” (RSI: 0–100 heat score), buy VIXY (tends to jump when markets drop). 3) Else, if price is above its 200‑day avg, own SPY/QQQ or 3x versions after sharp drops. 4) If below, move to T‑bills/bonds (BIL, TLT/IEF/AGG) or inverse ETFs (SH/SDS/PSQ/SQQQ).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample data suggest higher upside vs SPY: ~35% annualized vs 17.6%, driven by regime-aware, tactical allocation across equities, bonds, leveraged bets, and volatility hedges. Note higher drawdowns in stress markets; active risk control advised.

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.
