About

A daily, risk-on/risk-off strategy. It shorts stocks on volatility spikes, uses Treasuries or 3x Nasdaq after sharp tech selloffs, and otherwise splits into five trend slices that pick 3x S&P 500, commodities, or the best defensive asset (bonds/dollar/gold).
NutHow it works
Daily rebalance. 1) If volatility (VIXM) is surging (RSI>68), hold SPXU (3x inverse S&P 500). 2) Else if Nasdaq-100 fell >3% in 5 days, use a shock absorber: prefer SCHO (short‑term Treasuries); buy TQQQ (3x Nasdaq) only on deeper dips; skip >+5% 1‑day pops. 3) Else use 5 equal slices: if stocks (SPY) beat commodities (PDBC) over 200–600 days and bonds are rising (BND>BIL), hold UPRO (3x S&P 500); otherwise hold the 60‑day leader of BSV/UUP/IEF/SPY/GLD; if commodities lead, hold PDBC. Exposures: US stocks (esp. tech), commodities, gold, Treasuries, US dollar.
CheckmarkValue prop

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.
