About

Daily, rules‑based “risk thermostat.” Uses S&P 500 trend and a shipping‑ETF heat gauge to set risk. In uptrends it buys or hedges leveraged equity funds; in down/sideways it buys brief dips, rotates to defensives or shorts Nasdaq. Keeps ~10% crypto only in uptrends.
NutHow it works
Daily, rules‑based “risk thermostat.” • Trend: S&P 500 vs long‑term average. A shipping ETF (BDRY) is a growth gauge; if weak, park in T‑Bills (BIL). • Uptrends: if very “hot” (RSI = 0–100 heat meter), hedge with bonds/defensive sectors/volatility; otherwise buy dips in 3× growth funds (e.g., TQQQ, SOXL, TECL). • Down/sideways: try oversold bounces; else rotate to staples/bonds or short Nasdaq (PSQ/SQQQ). A TLT‑vs‑SQQQ strength check picks long vs short. • Crypto: ~10% in GBTC only if above its 50‑day average. Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~119% annualized return vs SPY ~28%, Calmar ~5.18, strong risk-adjusted gains. Near-SPY Sharpe, with regime-rotation and hedges—an upside-focused alternative to the S&P 500.

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.
