About

A daily, rules‑based plan that rides U.S. stocks in uptrends, shifts to inverse funds in downtrends, and uses dollar/gold and volatility as crash protection to limit big losses while capping some upside.
NutHow it works
Daily, it checks if the S&P 500 is above its 200‑day average. If yes, it prefers fast stock funds (3x tech or S&P) unless short‑term risk looks high; then it parks in bonds or hedges with dollar/gold. If no, it flips to inverse funds (or hedges). A UVXY “airbag” can engage during panics.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample returns trail SPY (about 17.4% vs 23.1%), but this strategy adds crash hedges and a negative beta for diversification—designed to dampen big drawdowns and provide steadier, growth-oriented exposure as a complement to 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.
