About

Rules-based “traffic light” that rides big tech in uptrends, shifts to Treasuries/gold or even shorts Nasdaq when momentum weakens, and buys VIX (UVXY) when markets look overheated. Main exposures: tech/growth, long Treasuries, gold, and volatility hedges.
NutHow it works
It reads momentum with RSI (0–100; >80 overheated, <30 washed‑out) and trend (20–200‑day averages). If stocks look euphoric, it buys crash‑protection: UVXY (VIX) plus some TLT (Treasuries) and GLD (gold). Otherwise it rotates among tech/growth (QQQ, TQQQ/QLD, XLK, VUG), safety (TLT/TMF, GLD), or hedges (PSQ/SQQQ). It blends these sleeves by fixed weights.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: 21.1% annualized vs 17.4% for the S&P, lower drawdown (15.7% vs 18.8%), and Calmar ~1.34. Rotates tech leadership into Treasuries/gold and crash hedges to protect downside while chasing upside.

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.
