About

A rules‑based, daily‑rebalanced portfolio that rides tech‑led uptrends with leverage, steps aside to cash/shorts when markets look hot or weak, and adds trend sleeves in Treasuries and commodities (oil, gold, metals, ag) for diversification and hedging.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks two things: trend (is price above its long‑term average?) and short‑term “heat” (a speedometer of recent moves—high = run hot, low = washed out). • In healthy uptrends: it holds QQQ or its 3× version TQQQ; buys dips after sharp drops; if things look “too hot,” it parks in T‑bills (SHV/BIL) or a light short (PSQ/SH). • In downtrends: it rotates to hedges (inverse stock ETFs), long Treasuries (TLT/TMF) if they’re strengthening, or cash. • Side sleeves follow trends in oil, natural gas, gold, metals, and agriculture; can toggle emerging markets long/short; and add small volatility trades (SVXY/UVXY). Leverage is capped by a long‑term volatility limit tied to SPY to keep risk in bounds.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy offers stronger risk-adjusted growth: ~26% annualized vs ~19.6% SPY, Sharpe ~1.11, Calmar ~1.23. Trend hedges and diversified sleeves seek higher upside with disciplined risk vs 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.
