About

Half in tactical Treasuries (can go long, short, or cash). Half in an aggressive, tech‑tilted stock engine with a volatility overlay. Uses trend and “overbought/oversold” signals to dial risk up in uptrends and down in selloffs.
NutHow it works
It splits the portfolio 50/50. - Treasury side rotates among: TMF (bet on rising bond prices), TMV (bet on falling bond prices), or safer bond/cash funds (TLT, BND, SHV) using trend checks and a “speedometer” of recent moves (RSI: low=cold, high=hot). - Stock side goes aggressive in uptrends (leveraged tech like TQQQ/TECL/SOXL plus some SVXY) and defensive in stress (PSQ/SQQQ, staples, dollar, or VIXY/UVXY). Extra rules cut risk when the Nasdaq weakens.
CheckmarkValue prop
Diversified 50/50 Treasury/Equity strategy with trend/volatility overlays. In out-of-sample testing it shows positive risk-adjusted returns (Sharpe ~0.75; Calmar ~0.76) and built-in hedges to dampen drawdowns versus a pure S&P exposure.

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.
