About

Daily, rules‑based ETF rotation. Plays offense in uptrends with leveraged tech/S&P and Treasuries, buys dips and fades rips via a “too hot/too cold” gauge; in stress, shifts fast to cash, bonds, dollar, inverse or volatility hedges.
NutHow it works
Each day it asks: is the S&P 500 in an uptrend (above its 200‑day average)? If yes, it goes on offense using fast movers—triple‑levered Nasdaq/S&P (TQQQ, UPRO/SPXL), semis (SOXL) and long Treasuries (TMF)—usually buying recent laggards for a rebound. A short‑term “too hot/too cold” gauge (RSI) and volatility spikes can trigger hedges (VXX) or cash‑like T‑Bills (BIL). If trends weaken or commodities/USD lead, it flips to defense: BIL, AGG, USDU or inverse funds (SQQQ/SPXS/SOXS). High‑risk, short‑term tools.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~29.7% annualized return vs SPY ~23.6%, driven by regime-aware leverage and tactical hedges. Higher upside, but bigger drawdowns (~46.9% vs ~18.8%) and lower risk-adjusted Sharpe (~0.77 vs 1.41) — for high-tolerance investors.

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.
