About

A very aggressive, tactical strategy: chase the strongest stock themes with leveraged ETFs when momentum is healthy; hide in T‑Bills when bonds/shorts lead; and use crash hedges (UVXY, inverse funds) when markets look overheated or stressed. ~85% invested.
NutHow it works
Runs a daily checklist to decide if it should attack, defend, or sit out. - RSI = a quick “hot/cold” score (0–100). Max drawdown = worst recent drop. Moving‑average return = short‑term trend. 1) If stocks look overheated, buy UVXY (spikes when fear jumps). 2) If drops are sharp, switch to defensive/short funds or short Treasuries. 3) Otherwise, own the 1–2 strongest leveraged stock ETFs; if bonds/shorts lead, park in T‑Bills. Targets ~85% invested.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return ~44.7% vs SPY ~15.8%; Sharpe ~0.92, Calmar ~0.95. Regime-switching, hedged leveraged ETFs hedge risk while chasing strongest themes for superior, risk-adjusted growth vs 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.
