About

A fast‑switching, tech‑heavy plan: ride Nasdaq/S&P uptrends (TQQQ/UPRO), buy sharp dips, and flip into VIX “airbags” when markets look overheated. In choppy periods it parks in managed‑futures (KMLM/DBMF) or gold/cash. Rebalances daily; very high risk.
NutHow it works
Daily it checks trend and temperature. Trend: is the S&P 500 above its 200‑day average? If yes, favor fast tech funds (TQQQ/TECL/SOXL); if not, use shorts (PSQ/SQQQ) or gold. Temperature uses RSI (a 0–100 “speedometer” of recent moves): hot → VIX “airbags” (VIXY/VXX/UVXY); cold → buy the dip. If choppy, rotate into diversifiers like KMLM/DBMF (managed‑futures) or T‑Bills. Very active, very high risk.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~332% annualized return vs ~188% for the S&P, strong risk-adjusted profile (OOS Sharpe ~2.55; Calmar ~52) and hedges (VIX, managed futures) aiming for bigger upside with controlled drawdowns.

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.
