About

A rules‑driven strategy that rides tech‑led uptrends with leveraged ETFs, buys deep dips, and cuts risk fast using Treasuries, cash, anti‑beta, and VIX/inverse funds. A separate sleeve holds commodities (gold, oil, metals, nat gas) only when their trends are strong.
NutHow it works
Big picture first: if the S&P 500 is in a long‑term uptrend (above its 200‑day average), go on offense; if not, go defensive. Offense: favor tech leaders (QQQ/TQQQ, TECL, UPRO; SOXL for semis). Buy deep dips when these look washed‑out (RSI = 0–100 “heat meter” of recent gains/losses; low = washed‑out). Defense: if markets get jumpy, shift to T‑Bills (BIL), anti‑beta (BTAL), Treasuries (TMF/TMV), or volatility/inverse funds (VIXY/UVXY/SVXY/SQQQ/SPXU). Health checks: use junk bonds (HYG) and bonds vs T‑Bills (BND>BIL) as a risk green‑light. Separate sleeves buy gold, oil, metals, or nat gas only when their trends are up.
CheckmarkValue prop
Rule-based, risk-aware strategy that captures tech rallies with leverage while defending with bonds, cash, volatility and anti-beta hedges. OOS: ~14.6% return, Sharpe ~0.82, max drawdown ~18%, Calmar ~0.80—diversified upside with downside protection vs S&P.

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.
