About

A daily rules-based switch: buy fast stock ETFs when trends are up; shift to Treasuries, T‑Bills, utilities, gold, dollar or commodities when things look shaky. Blends several signals to chase gains and limit damage. Uses leveraged ETFs—expect big swings.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks “is the market trending up and calm?” If yes, it buys 2–3 fast stock funds (often 3x ETFs like SPXL/TQQQ/UDOW). If not, it shifts to safety/diversifiers: Treasuries (TMF/TMV), T‑Bills (BIL), utilities (XLU), gold (UGL), US dollar (USDU), or commodities (PDBC). It blends several simple “canaries” (tech vs utilities, stock trends vs averages, bond and volatility cues) and equal‑weights the best recent sub‑models.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~43.5% annualized return and Sharpe ~1.61 vs S&P ~23.7% and ~1.42; Calmar ~1.50. A diversified risk-on/risk-off ETF rotation aims bigger upside with controlled risk—though drawdowns can be larger.

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.
