About

Daily, rules-based switchboard: in uptrends it rides leveraged tech (TQQQ), flips to long Treasuries (TMF) when overheated, and in downtrends moves to cash-like bonds or inverse hedges (QID/SH). It favors the best recent playbooks. Very aggressive.
NutHow it works
It’s a daily switchboard. It checks a long‑term trend (price vs 200‑day average) and a short‑term heat score (RSI, 0–100; >80 hot, <30 cold). In uptrends it rides tech via TQQQ (3× Nasdaq‑100); if too hot it parks in long Treasuries via TMF (3×). In downtrends it moves to cash‑like Treasuries (SHY/BSV/BIL/SHV) or hedges with inverse funds like QID (‑2× Nasdaq) or SH (‑1× S&P). Three mini‑playbooks run; it allocates more to the ones with stronger recent gains and lower past drawdowns.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return ~44% vs SPY ~22%. A rules-based, daily switchboard that leverages tech in uptrends and shifts to Treasuries/hedges in downturns—delivering higher upside potential with disciplined risk management versus the S&P 500.

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.
