About

A rule‑based plan that rides SPY/QQQ (sometimes via 3× funds) in uptrends, then rotates into Treasuries, cash, gold, the dollar, or volatility/short funds when markets overheat or stress rises. Main exposures: US large caps, tech, long Treasuries, gold, USD.
NutHow it works
Split between offense and defense. ~30% rides uptrends in US stocks (SPY=S&P 500) and the Nasdaq (QQQ; TQQQ=3×) when price is above long‑term trend; it shifts to cash, gold, or short‑term bonds when prices look overheated (RSI high) or trend weak. ~70% is a safety net that turns on when stress rises (volatility/dollar/gold/oil). It moves to Treasuries (TLT/IEF/SHY/BND), the dollar (UUP), gold (GLD), or crash guards (UVXY=vol up, SQQQ/SH=short stocks). RSI = heat; moving averages = trend lines.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: 16.8% annualized vs SPY 18.6%; max drawdown 15% vs 19%; Calmar ~1.13. A rule-based mix of trend-following and hedges (bonds, gold, USD, volatility) aims for downside protection with solid upside, a valuable SPY complement.

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.
