About

A daily, rules‑driven “risk‑on/risk‑off” blend. It buys leveraged tech/stock funds on dips in uptrends, parks in T‑bills when shaky, and adds VIX‑linked crash insurance when markets look overheated—plus diversifiers like bonds and KMLM.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks three things: the long‑term trend (200‑day line), short‑term “heat/cold” scores (RSI = a simple speed/heat gauge), and fear (VIX). It then shifts between: cash‑like T‑bills (BIL/SHV), crash‑insurance funds tied to VIX (UVXY/VIXY) when markets look overheated, “turbo” stock funds (TQQQ, UPRO, TECL, SOXL) to buy dips in uptrends, and diversifiers like BTAL, KMLM (managed‑futures), bonds (TMF/TLT), or gold.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: 28.27% annual return vs S&P 26.98%, with low beta (~0.5) for diversification and Calmar ~3.63—strong risk-adjusted growth from risk-on/risk-off, crash hedges, and trend-following.

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.
