About

A fast, daily, rules-based strategy: chase strength with 3x tech/S&P, hide in T‑Bills/bonds on weakness, and hedge or profit from fear via VIX funds or shorts. Uses a simple hot/cold score (RSI), long‑term trend filters, and a KMLM check to tilt offense vs defense.
NutHow it works
Each day it chooses between offense, defense, or hedge. • Offense: ride strong trends with 3x tech/S&P funds (e.g., TQQQ). • Defense: park in T‑Bills/bonds. • Hedge: buy "fear" funds (UVXY/UVIX) or inverse ETFs when stocks look too hot. RSI = hot/cold meter (high=overheated, low=washed‑out). Price vs 200‑day average sets bull/bear. KMLM (managed‑futures) is a diversifier; when it outshines tech, the rules tilt safer.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy posts higher risk-adjusted returns vs the S&P: ~55% annualized vs ~29%, Sharpe ~2.71 vs ~2.53, Calmar ~11, ~5% max drawdown, beta ~0.8. Dynamic offense/defense with hedges for regime resilience.

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.
