About

A safety‑first, on/off switch: mostly T‑Bills. If short‑term strength is strong and volatility is low, it goes all‑in a 3x S&P 500 fund. If strength is weak and tech trends down, it flips to a 3x inverse Nasdaq fund. Otherwise, it stays defensive.
NutHow it works
Most of the time it sits in cash-like T‑Bills. It only makes big bets when: 1) short‑term price strength looks good (RSI = a quick strength gauge) and 2) recent volatility is low. Then it goes all‑in a 3x S&P 500 fund. If strength is weak and tech is in a downtrend (20‑day price below 100‑day), it flips to a 3x inverse Nasdaq fund. Otherwise it stays in T‑Bills with tiny stock side bets sized by recent calmness.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy posts ~30.4% a year vs SPY ~22.4%, with Calmar ~1.60 and ~19% max drawdown. Defensive core with tiny satellite bets leverages 3x only when momentum and volatility align, boosting upside with controlled 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.
