About

Daily rules-based macro strategy: weak US dollar → tilt to China; strong dollar → defensive (bonds/volatility), tech only if trends are sound, plus selective commodities. Uses leveraged/short ETFs and VIX funds; high risk and very active.
NutHow it works
1) Watch the US dollar (UUP). If its short‑term price is below its long‑term trend, favor big Chinese stocks (FXI); if above, avoid China. 2) Then check other dials: buy US tech only when trends look healthy; own oil/nat‑gas/agri only when they’re trending. 3) Flip between long or short Treasuries. 4) When fear spikes, buy “VIX” funds; if nothing looks good, sit in T‑Bills. Rebalances daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
A rules-based macro rotation with USD regime tilts, volatility hedges, and trend-driven moves across stocks, bonds, and commodities. Out-of-sample Calmar 3.19 shows strong risk-adjusted resilience vs SPY, with downside control in volatility.

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.
