About

A daily, rules-based swing strategy that splits money between S&P 500 and Nasdaq playbooks and toggles among 3x bulls, core ETFs, bonds/cash, or inverse/volatility hedges using momentum (RSI), trend (200‑day average), and recent drawdown signals.
NutHow it works
Splits money 50/50 into two mini-strategies: S&P 500 (SPY) and Nasdaq‑100 (QQQ). Rebalanced daily. - If stocks look extremely hot (RSI, a 0–100 heat gauge, is very high), buy a volatility hedge (VIXY). - Else, use bond‑vs‑stock strength, trend (200‑day avg), and recent losses to choose: 3x bulls (SPXL/TQQQ/TECL) on dips; core/low‑vol/bonds (SPY/QQQ/SPLV/TLT) in neutral; cash or inverse funds (BIL/SH/SDS/SPXU/PSQ/SQQQ) in declines.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample shows ~32.5% annualized return vs ~17.8% for the S&P, with risk controls, hedges, and a dual SPY/QQQ tilt. Higher drawdown (~51% vs ~19%), but substantially stronger upside on dips.

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.
