About

Daily, rules-based risk-on/risk-off: tries to catch short-term pops in SPY, QQQ and Semiconductors with 3x ETFs, then falls back to a Dalio-style All Weather mix (stocks, bonds, gold, commodities, USD, hedges) when conditions weaken.
NutHow it works
Three “pop bots” watch the S&P 500, Nasdaq 100 and Semiconductors. On quick dips (RSI = a “hot/cold” meter; low = oversold), they buy 3x bull funds. When prices look too hot (RSI high), they briefly hedge with a volatility fund (VIX-linked). Otherwise cash is routed to an All-Weather engine that rotates among stocks, Treasuries, gold, broad commodities, the US dollar, and defensive/short funds using simple trend (200-day lines), volatility, and rate signals. Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: ~32.6% annualized return vs SPY ~22.7%, with risk-control from a Dalio-style All-Weather core plus Pop Bot momentum and hedges. Diversified across stocks, bonds, gold and commodities. Calmar ~1.23.

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.
