About

Three-in-one system: buy stock-market dips or use a safety mix in rough times; run a 3x stocks + 3x long‑Treasuries core in calm times; plus tacticals that buy oversold funds or rotate to commodity leaders, adding volatility/fear hedges when needed.
NutHow it works
Three parts: 1) Regime: After a rough year it buys US‑stock dips with 3x funds on 5‑day drops; sharp rebounds switch to a safety mix (dollar, gold, staples, short Treasuries). In calmer years it holds 3x stocks + 3x long Treasuries. 2) Fund Surfing: Buys what’s most oversold (RSI = 0–100 “heat”; low = sold‑off). In high fear it tilts to long/short Treasuries and some commodities. 3) Battleship: Follows the stronger trend (stocks vs commodities) and adds hedges when volatility spikes.
CheckmarkValue prop
Three-module strategy beats the S&P on an out-of-sample basis: ~31.7% annualized vs ~22.8% for SPY, with regime dip-buying, oversold fund surfing, and macro rotation hedges. Higher upside, but higher drawdown risk.

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.
