About

A daily, rules‑based plan: when stocks get short‑term “too hot,” it hedges by buying volatility (VIXY) and defensive mixes (EUM/BTAL). If not hot, it holds SPY/QQQ. If the uptrend breaks, it rotates into bonds, volatility funds, or short ETFs until conditions improve.
NutHow it works
Daily, rules‑based. 1) Trend check: Is SPY above its 200‑day average? If yes and the market looks “hot” (RSI > ~78; RSI is a 0–100 speedometer of recent buying), it shifts into shock absorbers: VIXY (benefits from volatility spikes) plus a smooth mix of EUM (inverse EM) and BTAL (anti‑beta). If not hot, it holds SPY/QQQ. 2) If SPY is below its 200‑day, it rotates among Treasuries (TLT/TMF/TMV), volatility funds (VIXY/UVXY/SVXY), shorts (SH/PSQ), or cash‑like SHV; very oversold tech may trigger small, tactical longs (TECL/TQQQ).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annual return ~22% vs SPY ~14%; Sharpe ~0.85 and Calmar ~1.03 show stronger risk-adjusted performance. Daily regime-switching hedges (volatility, bonds) aim to capture upside while mitigating losses vs 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.
