About

Rules-based plan: buy stock-market dips with a partial safety anchor, avoid overheated surges with cash/volatility hedge, rotate 70% into the strongest 150‑day trends, and actively flip a 30% bond sleeve between long and short Treasuries.
NutHow it works
RSI is a quick “heat gauge” of recent moves. If TQQQ looks too hot (>79), it goes defensive (≈75% T‑Bills via BIL, ≈25% volatility hedge via VXX). If markets look washed‑out (RSI: TQQQ <31 or SPY <30), it buys the dip using 3x stock funds (TECL or UPRO) plus a safety anchor (XLP). Otherwise: 70% rotates into the 4 strongest over 150 days from a basket (tech, semis, S&P, energy, staples, healthcare, Brazil, commodities, USD, bonds), and 30% flips between long/short Treasuries (TMF/TMV) using 150‑ & 23‑day trends.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return: 26.04% vs 19.90% for the S&P. A rules-based mix of 150-day momentum and dip-buying hedges with a bond sleeve aims for bigger upside in up markets, while using risk controls—though drawdowns can be larger and Sharpe lower.

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.
