About

A rules-based “traffic-light” system. In calm uptrends it loads into 3x tech/semis; in stress it parks in T‑bills/bonds/market‑neutral or uses hedges/shorts. Separate sleeves toggle emerging markets and crypto. Uses RSI/MAs; high risk due to leverage.
NutHow it works
Think of four dashboards: trend, volatility, interest rates, and crypto. If stocks trend up and volatility is calm, it goes on offense (3x tech/semis like TQQQ/SOXL/TECL/UPRO). If trend weakens or vol spikes, it hides in T‑bills/bonds/market‑neutral or shorts/vol hedges. Separate sleeves toggle emerging markets and, only when Bitcoin trends, a crypto basket. KMLM (managed futures) acts as a macro trend check to allow or block some tech/short‑vol trades.
CheckmarkValue prop
An adaptive, rules-based strategy that goes leveraged into tech in uptrends and hedges to cash in downturns, plus EM and crypto sleeves for optional bets. Out-of-sample results show stronger downside protection and higher upside vs. the S&P 500.

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.
