About

A rules‑driven, tactical plan: buy leveraged tech/semis on dips, pivot to volatility funds or cash when markets are overheated, and use trend filters plus managed‑futures (KMLM) and bonds for rough patches. Goal: high win rate via quick pivots.
NutHow it works
Think of it like a traffic‑light system. 1) Check the long trend (S&P vs its 200‑day average). 2) Do a “heat check” with RSI (a 0–100 hot/cold score of recent moves). • Very hot (RSI ~80+): shift to defense—volatility funds (UVXY/VIXY/VIXM), market‑neutral BTAL, or T‑Bills (SGOV/SHV). • Sharp cool‑offs (RSI ~30 or big drops): buy offense—leveraged tech/semis (TQQQ, TECL, SOXL). It can also use KMLM (managed‑futures) and bonds/dollar in tougher regimes, and it scales in/out as heat changes.
CheckmarkValue prop
Dynamic, rule‑driven strategy with volatility hedges, managed futures, and regime switching. Out-of-sample Calmar ~1.02 signals favorable risk‑adjusted drawdown control and diversification when SPY spikes, potentially lowering overall portfolio risk while preserving upside.

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.
