About

A tactical, trend-and-momentum strategy that shifts between leveraged tech/S&P when markets are strong, a balanced mix in middling conditions, and gold/Treasuries/managed futures or hedges when markets weaken or volatility spikes.
NutHow it works
It watches three things: tech momentum (QQQ), stock trends (SPY), and bonds. Then it picks a mode: - Offense: leveraged Nasdaq/S&P (TQQQ/QLD/SSO), esp. after sharp selloffs. - Balanced: NTSX (stocks+bonds in one), VBR (small value), DBMF (managed futures). - Defense: GLD (gold), SHY/IEF/TLT (Treasuries), DBMF; sometimes SH/PSQ, BTAL, HIBS or VIXM as crash hedges when volatility spikes.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this regime-switching strategy delivers higher risk-adjusted returns (Sharpe ~3.05 vs ~2.50 for the S&P) and far higher annualized gains (~119% vs ~41%), with diversified hedges and volatility-aware shifts to chase growth while managing risk—though downturns can run larger (≈11% vs ≈6%).

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.
