About

Equal-weight 4-sleeve plan. A bond’s trend is the “green light.” If it’s up, hold the matching stock ETF—unless that stock looks overheated, then short it with an inverse ETF. If the bond isn’t strong, sit in that bond. Rebalanced daily.
NutHow it works
RSI is a 0–100 speedometer of recent gains vs. losses. >50 = rising; >70 = overheated. Split money equally into 4 sleeves: SPY, QQQ, IWM, SOXX. In each sleeve, if its bond trigger (BIL/TLT/IEF/AGG) is rising (RSI>50), hold the stock ETF—unless it’s overheated (RSI>70), then use the inverse (SH/PSQ/RWM/SOXS). If the bond isn’t rising, park in that bond ETF. Check daily. Tickers: SPY=S&P500; SH=−1x S&P; BIL=T‑bills; QQQ=Nasdaq‑100; PSQ=−1x Nasdaq; TLT=20+yr Treas; IWM=small caps; RWM=−1x small caps; IEF=7–10yr Treas; SOXX=semis; SOXS=−3x semis; AGG=core US bonds.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: 22.12% annualized return vs 21.93% for the S&P, Sharpe ~1.31, Calmar ~1.02, beta ~0.72. A four-sleeve, bond-triggered strategy offers higher risk-adjusted upside, with slightly larger 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.
