About

A daily, rule‑driven “meta‑portfolio” that buys 2x/3x stock ETFs on dips, hedges overbought or crashy periods with volatility and Treasuries, trades commodities by trend, and parks cash in T‑bills. High risk; aims to ride rallies and cut deep drawdowns.
NutHow it works
Daily it checks the S&P 500’s short‑term trend (9‑ & 20‑day averages). If weak, it goes defensive (T‑bills/BIL, gold/GLD, dollar/UUP, BTAL, or Treasuries via TMF/TMV). If okay, it runs “Pop Bot” rules: buy 2x/3x growth funds (TQQQ, SPXL, SOXL) on dips and switch to volatility hedges (UVXY/VIXM) when prices look overheated or volatility spikes. Side sleeves trade bonds and commodities (DBC/XME, DBO, FCG/KOLD, GLD) by simple trend. Idle cash sits in BIL. RSI is a 0–100 “hot/cold” gauge.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy offers better risk-adjusted results than the S&P 500: Sharpe 1.75 vs 1.40, max drawdown 7.4% vs 13.7%, and beta ~0.35. Lower risk, with upside potential.

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.
