About

Daily, rules-based “offense/defense” system. It rides strong tech and energy uptrends with leveraged ETFs, flips to shorts or volatility hedges in selloffs, uses bond/rate signals for ballast, and can park in managed-futures ETFs when stock/bond trends falter.
NutHow it works
Each day the system asks: Are stocks trending up? Are rates rising or falling? Is volatility spiking? It then picks 1–2 ETFs to hold: often leveraged tech (TQQQ/SOXL/UPRO) in uptrends; shorts or UVXY in selloffs; TMF/TMV based on rate trends; or a managed-futures ETF (DBMF/CTA/KMLM) when stocks/bonds are choppy. An energy sleeve trades oil/gas trends.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy boosts risk-adjusted returns vs the S&P: ~95% annualized vs ~38%, Sharpe ~3.59 vs ~2.87, Calmar ~14.5. A disciplined, multi-sleeve trend approach aims for strong upside and controlled 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.
