About

A daily, drawdown‑triggered risk‑on/risk‑off plan. In stress it tilts to gold, the US dollar, and Treasuries; in calm markets it runs a balanced, leveraged mix of tech, financials, and long Treasuries, with a small cash buffer.
NutHow it works
Daily check for stress. If the Nasdaq‑100 (QQQ) is down >~6% from a 10‑day high, or long Treasuries (TMF) fell >~7% over 10 days, switch to “risk‑off”: Gold (GLD), US dollar (UUP), TMF, plus small slices of tech (TQQQ) and banks (FAS), sized so steadier assets (past ~45 days) get more. Otherwise go “risk‑on”: put ~85% in a balanced blend of TQQQ, FAS, and TMF (more to the steadier one) and keep ~15% in cash.
CheckmarkValue prop
Dynamic risk-on/risk-off strategy diversifies beyond the S&P 500 with gold, USD, Treasuries and leveraged equities, aiming to curb stress‑period drawdowns and add crisis protection. Note: out-of-sample results show higher drawdowns and negative 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.
