About

Daily, rules-based playbook for a rising‑rates world: reads QQQ and Treasury signals to rotate into leveraged sector/growth bulls when calm, shift to managed futures or 3x shorts under stress, and use a volatility hedge when markets look too hot.
NutHow it works
Checks daily gauges: QQQ (big‑tech) and long‑Treasuries. - QQQ very hot → hedge with UVXY (volatility). - QQQ very cold → buy the more beaten‑down of TQQQ (3x Nasdaq) or BSV (short‑term bonds). - QQQ falling fast → DBMF (managed futures) or SQQQ (3x short Nasdaq). - Bonds tumbling → DBMF or TMV (3x short bonds). - Calm → spread across 3x bulls (TQQQ, UPRO, FAS, SOXL, CURE, LABU, TMF) sized by recent stability. Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
An out-of-sample, rising-rate strategy using tactical shifts to leveraged bets, managed futures, and volatility hedges. Targeting ~53% annualized return vs SPY ~21%, with drawdowns up to ~50%—great upside, higher risk.

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.
