About

A daily tactical blend: buy 3× index ETFs on deep dips, hedge with VIX ETFs when markets look overheated, and otherwise sit in a diversified all‑weather mix (gold, staples, managed futures, dollar, T‑bills). High risk from leverage and volatility ETFs.
NutHow it works
Each day it asks: Is the stock market too hot? If yes, buy crash‑insurance (UVXY/VIXM). If not hot, did big indexes just slump? If yes, buy 3× funds (TQQQ/SPXL/SOXL) to catch a rebound. If no clear dip, park in an all‑weather mix (gold, staples, managed‑futures, US dollar, T‑bills) and run a small VIX sleeve that flips between long and short volatility based on SPY’s heat.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: ~32.6% annualized return vs SPY ~22.7%, with positive alpha and Calmar ~1.33. A tactical, diversified mix aiming higher upside with hedges, though drawdowns can exceed the S&P.

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.
