About

Rules-based, risk-on/risk-off system: ride leveraged tech in healthy uptrends; hedge or switch to shorts/bonds/gold/managed futures when markets overheat or break. Adds small sector mean‑reversion and strict safety tripwires to park in T‑bills.
NutHow it works
It first checks trend (SPY vs long‑term average) and short‑term “heat” (RSI = a 0–100 speed gauge; high = overheated, low = washed‑out). If uptrend and calm, it rides high‑octane tech (TQQQ, TECL, SOXL). If too hot, it buys volatility hedges (UVXY/VIXY; SVXY/SVIX = short‑vol). If trend breaks, it flips to inverse funds (SQQQ/TECS/DRV), bonds (TMF/IEF/SHY), gold (GLD), anti‑beta (BTAL) or managed‑futures (KMLM). Fast tripwires park in T‑bills (BIL).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~24.48% annualized return vs SPY 17.61%, Calmar ~6.64 signaling strong risk-adjusted growth. A rules-based, dynamic strategy that captures tech rallies while hedging and diversifying to limit drawdowns.

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.
