About

A tactical switch: hide in cash, dollar, gold, and hedges when stress is high; go hard into leveraged tech/semiconductors when trends are healthy. Uses trend, volatility, drawdown, and RSI signals to sidestep big hits and ride rebounds. High risk (uses 3× ETFs).
NutHow it works
Think of it as a market weather station. If fear or bond stress rises, it goes defensive: T‑Bills (BIL), U.S. dollar (USDU), gold/commodities (GLD, PDBC), defensive funds (BTAL, HDGE) or bear ETFs (SQQQ/SOXS). When calm returns and trends improve, it presses offense in tech/semis with 3× funds (TQQQ, SOXL). It reads trend vs average, drawdowns, volatility, and RSI—a “hot/cold” meter for prices.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: 29.41% annualized return vs 21.57%, drawdown 8.32% vs 18.76%, Sharpe 1.48 vs 1.21, and low beta. Defensive hedges plus leveraged tech/semis deliver higher, more durable risk-adjusted growth than 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.
