About

Rules-based, daily-rotating portfolio. It rides strong tech trends with 3x ETFs, shifts to hedges (inverse ETFs, Treasuries, cash) when conditions worsen, adds a tactical energy sleeve, and can fall back to managed-futures in choppy markets.
NutHow it works
Daily it checks the stock trend (S&P vs 200‑day), rate trend, energy trend, and volatility. If trends are healthy, it rides tech/semis with 3x funds (TQQQ/SOXL/UPRO). If risk rises, it flips to inverse ETFs, Treasuries or cash. In choppy markets it uses managed‑futures ETFs (DBMF/CTA/KMLM). A separate sleeve trades energy. RSI is a 0–100 “heat gauge.”
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~89% annualized return vs 38% S&P, Sharpe ~3.45 vs 2.94, Calmar ~13.6, with hedging and risk controls. Rules-based, leveraged tech/energy strategy delivering stronger risk-adjusted gains.

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.
