About

A tactical, rules‑driven mix that buys high‑octane ETFs (semis, China, short Nasdaq) only when market and volatility look “just right,” and otherwise parks in T‑bills/short Treasuries. Calmer sleeves get more weight to help tame swings.
NutHow it works
Multiple rule sets (“sleeves”) run in parallel; calmer ones get more weight. - SOXL (3x semis) only after a strong‑but‑not‑crazy up day in semis, stocks > bonds, and mid‑range volatility. - SHY (1–3y Treasuries) when broad trends are healthy. - YINN (3x China) for bounces. - SQQQ (3x short Nasdaq) when Nasdaq looks over‑extended. Else BIL/SGOV (T‑bills). RSI=0–100 heat gauge; moving average=trend line.
CheckmarkValue prop
This strategy offers dramatically better risk-adjusted performance than the S&P 500. Out-of-sample Sharpe ~2.64 vs ~0.92, drawdown under 0.5% vs ~18.8%, and Calmar ~16 vs ~0.9, driven by disciplined, rule-based allocation and tight risk controls.

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.
