About

A K‑1‑free, rules-based spin on HFEA. It goes risk‑on with leveraged stocks/bonds when rates are friendly, and flips to cash-like Treasuries, USD, gold, or inverse hedges when fear spikes, rates rise, or after sharp drops.
NutHow it works
Panic check: if a “fear index” ETF (VIXM) is jumping (high RSI = fast rise), park in short‑term Treasuries (SHY). If not, rates test: if broad bonds (BND) beat cash, go risk‑on and put ~2/3 in leveraged tech/Nasdaq/S&P/long‑bond funds that look coolest short‑term (low RSI). If long bonds lag cash (rising rates), hold US dollar (USDU) + one hedge (SQQQ or TBF). If rates are falling and no sharp 10‑day drop, run 55% UPRO/45% TMF; else hold IEI, TIP, BSV, GLD.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~22.7% annualized return vs 22.0% for the S&P, with built-in risk-off hedges (treasuries, USD, gold, inverse hedges) and selective leverage in favorable markets. K‑1‑free, rules-based, diversified, aims for steadier compounding.

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.
