About

A rules-based, trend-and-momentum strategy that mostly rides UDOW (3x Dow) in calm uptrends, but shifts to cash, Treasuries, or hedges when markets get overheated, volatile, or turn down. It may buy sharp dips and briefly hedge big bounces.
NutHow it works
1) Checks if the overall market (SPY) is in a long-term uptrend using a 200‑day average. If yes, it prefers UDOW (3x Dow 30). If not, it shifts defensive. 2) Uses short‑term “heat” gauges (RSI), quick drop/bounce checks, and volatility to spot when things are overheated, panicky, or choppy. 3) In hot or fearful periods it moves to cash (BIL), Treasuries (TLT), or hedges (SPXU/UVXY). In calm uptrends it holds UDOW; on deep dips it may buy the dip.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return ~35.6% vs ~21.5% for the S&P, thanks to dynamic UDOW exposure in uptrends and defensive hedges in risk-off periods. Higher upside with Calmar ~0.88; note larger drawdowns in downturns.

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.
