About

A fast, rules‑driven swing strategy: buy sharp dips, hedge when markets look too hot, and otherwise rotate among tech, managed futures (KMLM), bonds, shorts, or cash using trend and inflation filters. Heavy use of leveraged/short ETFs; very high risk.
NutHow it works
- It uses a short‑term “heat” score (RSI; 0–100). Very hot (>~80) often triggers a volatility hedge (UVXY). Very cold (<~30) buys quick bounces in high‑octane funds (TECL/SOXL/SPXL). - If no quick trade: it compares Tech vs KMLM (a managed‑futures ETF). If Tech leads, it rides momentum; if not, a bond check picks defense (KMLM/SPLV) or bear hedges (TZA/LABD) or Treasuries (TLT). - Big context filters (200‑day trends, an inflation gauge RINF) switch on/off modules that choose between 3x bull ETFs (UPRO/URTY/EET/BITO) and their shorts/cash (EUM/REW/SRTY/BIL).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample resilience across regimes: a rules-based swing/rotation strategy designed to outperform the S&P 500 on a risk-adjusted basis by combining trend, momentum, hedges, and inflation-aware tilts across tech, bonds, futures, and crypto.

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.
