About

A daily, rule-based toggle that goes mostly 3x Nasdaq plus some long Treasuries in uptrends, shifts to dollar and short long-bonds in downtrends, parks in T‑bills/short Treasuries when volatility or overheating hits, and occasionally adds a short UVXY burst hedge.
NutHow it works
Daily checks: - If fear index UVXY’s RSI (>70; a speedometer of recent moves) spikes → park in T‑bills (BIL). - If tech TQQQ (3x Nasdaq) is overheated (RSI>65) → park in 1‑3yr Treasuries (SHY). - Else pick Risk‑On vs Risk‑Off by momentum: Risk‑On → mostly TQQQ + some TMF (3x long Treas.), sized by calmness. Risk‑Off → UUP (U.S. dollar) + TMV (3x short long Treas.). - Extra trend checks (SPY/QQQ/TLT) and “overbought” rules may add brief UVXY or switch to safer sub‑models. Rebalanced daily.

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.
