About

A two‑part, tactical plan: half “buy the dip or hide in safety,” and half trend rotation among US stocks, foreign stocks/bonds, or commodities, with occasional volatility hedges. RSI is a 0–100 heat gauge of recent price speed; >70 = “too hot.”
NutHow it works
Two engines, split ~50/50. A) In rough markets (S&P’s last‑yr drop >10%), it buys 3x stock funds (UPRO/TQQQ) after sharp 5‑day slides; if there’s a big 1‑day rebound, it sits in a Safety Mix (UUP, GLD, XLP, SHY). In calmer times, it runs a 55/45 leveraged stocks/bonds blend (UPRO/TQQQ vs TMF), else Safety. B) Separately, it rotates by trend: if stocks beat commodities and trend up, hold the stronger of UPRO/TQQQ and sometimes hedge with UVXY after very “hot” moves; if weak, switch to EFA/EEM/TLT/SHY. If commodities lead, own the strongest (DBC, GLD, USO…); if that cools, use an inflation‑hedge mix. Indicators: moving averages (trend), short‑term returns, RSI (0–100 speed‑of‑move; >70 is “hot”).
CheckmarkValue prop
Two-sleeve, rule-driven strategy blends buy-the-dip hedges with trend rotation across stocks, bonds, commodities, and currencies. It diversifies a core S&P portfolio, adds risk management, and aims to smooth returns across changing markets.

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.
