About

A daily, tactical switcher. Bonds up → buy 4 oversold choices from 3x tech/market, Treasuries, and commodities; stress → favor Treasuries. Bonds weak → hold USD plus shorts if rates rise, or gold/Treasuries/defensives if rates fall. High risk: uses leveraged ETFs.
NutHow it works
Daily: 1) If bonds (BND) have risen over ~11 weeks, Risk‑ON; else Risk‑OFF. 2) Risk‑ON: when volatility (UVXY, a fear gauge) is calm, buy 4 “oversold” picks (low RSI = heavy recent selling) from a basket of 3x tech/market, Treasuries, and commodities; if fear spikes, rotate into long/short Treasuries or a smaller mix. 3) Risk‑OFF: if rates are rising, hold USD plus either short Nasdaq or short long‑Treasuries; if falling, hold gold, long‑Treasuries, anti‑beta, and staples. Rebalance daily. Uses 2x/3x ETFs.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample return: 22.84% vs SPY 22.26%; Calmar 0.38; Sharpe 0.71 vs SPY 1.32. Regime-driven, diversified ETF approach aims for higher upside with risk control versus SPY, but OOS drawdowns can be large (~60%).

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.
