About

A tactical MicroStrategy (MSTR) strategy that shifts between MSTR, a 2x long MSTR ETF (MSTU), and a 2x inverse MSTR ETF (MSTZ) using simple price averages. It can be ~1.5x long in strong uptrends, near flat in mixed signals, or ~2x against in downtrends.
NutHow it works
Tickers: MSTR=MicroStrategy (stock). MSTU≈2x MSTR each day. MSTZ≈-2x MSTR each day. Portfolio = two equal slices. Rule 1 (short-term): if MSTR’s 9-day average price > 10-day, hold MSTU; otherwise follow Rule 2. Rule 2 (trend): if MSTR’s 50-day average > 200-day, hold MSTR; else hold MSTZ. Outcomes: up+up -> ~1.5x long; up+down -> ~1x long; down+up -> ~flat; down+down -> ~2x against.
CheckmarkValue prop
Regime-aware, rules-based strategy toggling between up to 2x long or -2x exposure to MSTR. Seeks upside in trends and hedges in downturns. With a positive out-of-sample Sharpe (~0.60) and negative market beta, it diversifies and complements the S&P with steadier risk-adjusted returns.

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.
