About

A daily-rebalanced, regime-driven, multi-asset strategy that leverages tech when markets cooperate and hedges with bonds, cash, gold, and currency when volatility or rising rates threaten risk.
NutHow it works
The system runs every trading day. It starts with a cash baseline and then decides what mix of assets to hold based on several regime signals. Key regime checks include: - Are rates likely to rise? The model looks at 60-day momentum of bond proxies and a short-term price comparison to judge whether rates are trending up or not. - Has QQQ (tech) been weak recently? Recent performance helps decide risk posture. - Is volatility high or low? A volatility signal helps tilt toward defensives (bonds, gold, dollar, and a volatility hedge) or toward riskier tech exposure. - Drawdown checks on QQQ and other inputs help avoid big losses. If conditions indicate rates not rising and tech is in an uptrend with manageable volatility, the system tilts toward higher exposure to TQQQ (the leveraged tech ETF) to amplify returns. If rates are rising or volatility spikes, it shifts toward a defensive mix: Treasuries (IEF, TMF), short-term cash (BIL), gold (GLD), dollar (UUP), and sometimes a volatility hedge proxy (SVXY) to reduce risk. The strategy uses a daily rebalance to adjust weights, with a baseline of cash equalization that can be replaced by the chosen assets. In short: it tries to ride tech strength when the environment looks favorable, but hedges into bonds, currency, and gold when risk signals worsen. The design notes theLevered ETFs (TQQQ, TMF) are powerful but risky and are used under strict rule-based conditions.

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.
