About

Daily, it rotates among 3x Nasdaq tech (TQQQ), cash/hedges during panics, and a 3x Emerging Markets bull/bear trade (EDC/EDZ) when fear is low. Choices are driven by trend, drawdown, and short‑term strength/weakness signals.
NutHow it works
First it asks: is market fear spiking (via a volatility fund)? - If fear is high: if the 3x Nasdaq tech fund (TQQQ) looks overheated, move to cash/hedges (T‑bills, volatility, anti‑beta). If it just plunged, sometimes buy for a short bounce; otherwise stay defensive. If trend is fine, own TQQQ. - If fear is not high: trade Emerging Markets with 3x bull (EDC) or 3x bear (EDZ) based on long‑term trend and a quick bonds‑vs‑stocks strength check.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: Sharpe 2.13 vs SPX 1.32; Calmar 4.70; annualized return ~171% vs ~23%; alpha ~0.85%. Regime-switching, EM-leveraged tilt with hedges targets superior risk-adjusted growth vs the S&P (with higher drawdown risk).

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.
