About

A crash-aware, regime-switching strategy. In panic, it shorts stocks. In calm with easing yields, it buys the most oversold leveraged stock funds. If yields rise, it turns defensive (USD + hedges). If yields fall, it runs a 55/45 UPRO/TMF HFEA core, with a safety brake.
NutHow it works
It’s a tactical “switcher” that uses simple signals to pick where to be: 1) Panic mode: if volatility is surging (a short-term “overheated” score on VIXM), it shorts the S&P 500 with a 3x inverse fund (SPXS). 2) Otherwise, if bonds beat cash over 2 months, it puts ~68% into the three most “oversold” leveraged stock funds (picked from TECL, SOXL, FAS, TQQQ, UPRO). 3) If bonds don’t beat cash, it checks interest rates: when long-term bonds are falling (rates rising), it goes defensive (USD plus either inverse Nasdaq or short Treasuries). When long-term bonds are rising (rates falling), it runs a refined HFEA core: about 55% in 3x S&P 500 (UPRO) and 45% in 3x long Treasuries (TMF) — unless the S&P 500 just had a sharp drop, in which case it parks in T‑bills (BIL). It rebalances only when weights drift roughly 8% from targets.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this crash-aware, regime-switching strategy delivers higher long-run growth than the S&P 500 (≈25.9% vs 22.1%), with built-in hedges and tactical shifts to protect in stress, aiming to grow across market regimes.

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.
