About

A complex, daily strategy that rides tech booms with leveraged Nasdaq (TQQQ) but quickly shifts to bonds, gold, defensive sectors, cash, or inverse ETFs when multiple “weather” checks (RSI/trend, KMLM vs BTAL, BDRY, volatility) turn risk‑off. High turnover and leverage.
NutHow it works
Daily, rules-based “risk switch.” It tries to own TQQQ (a 3x version of the Nasdaq‑100) when growth/tech trends look healthy and volatility is tame. It judges this with RSI (0–100 ‘hot/cold’ of price), moving averages, and recent returns. It also checks KMLM (managed‑futures trend) vs BTAL (defensive, market‑neutral) and a shipping proxy, BDRY. If risk rises, it rotates to Treasuries (TLT/TMF), gold (GLD), defensive sectors (XLU/XLP), cash (BIL), or inverse funds (PSQ/SQQQ/SH).
CheckmarkValue prop
Dynamic risk-on/risk-off strategy blends tech upside with rapid hedges into Treasuries, gold, and cash. Out-of-sample: 11.6% annualized return, Sharpe 0.64, max drawdown 18%. Diversifies risk and can cushion downturns, but trails SPY in return.

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.
