About

A rapid, high‑risk trading system that switches between leveraged long and short ETFs. It compares short‑term stock strength to cash‑like Treasuries to choose a playbook, then uses bond‑vs‑stock cues to either fade hot tech/high‑beta moves or buy the most beaten‑down theme.
NutHow it works
First, it gives both stocks and a cash‑like Treasury fund a short‑term “strength score” (RSI = a simple 0–100 measure of recent price strength). If stocks look stronger, it runs Playbook A; if not, Playbook B. Playbook A: When Treasuries look stronger than stocks over a few days, it flips between 3x long or 3x short Nasdaq; otherwise it trades 3x bull/bear “high‑beta” S&P funds. It often fades big short‑term moves. Playbook B: When stocks look weak vs cash, it buys the most beaten‑down fund from a rotating list of leveraged themes (tech, small caps, EM, China, biotech, Treasuries). If small caps look stronger than bonds, it instead picks from a list of inverse funds. It only changes when signals flip.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return ≈41% vs SPY ≈21%, with solid risk metrics (Calmar 0.81, Sharpe 0.85). A dynamic long/short, momentum/mean-reversion approach designed for outsized upside; expect higher drawdowns in stress.

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.
