About

A rule‑based, volatility‑aware, tech‑led strategy: ride strong uptrends with 3x funds, and quickly rotate to hedges, bonds, commodities, or cash when markets overheat, turn choppy, or break trend. Uses credit checks and dip‑buy rules. High risk due to leverage.
NutHow it works
It switches between offense and defense using simple gauges. - Trend: is SPY above its 200‑day average (a long‑term trend line)? - Heat: RSI (0–100 “heat gauge”; high=hot, low=cold). If trend is healthy and calm, it rides strong tech with 3x funds (TQQQ, TECL, UPRO; sometimes SOXL). If things get hot or choppy, it moves to hedges/cash-like (BTAL, VIXM, Treasuries). It also buy‑the‑dip and runs trend sleeves in gold, oil, nat‑gas, and broad commodities.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy trims risk: beta ~0.47, max drawdown ~18.3%, Calmar ~0.71, and 12.95% annualized. Regime-switching hedges ride rallies and protect capital—less volatile than the S&P with solid risk-adjusted performance.

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.
