About

A cautious, tactical switcher: buy dips in big US tech with leveraged ETFs when conditions are cool, and shift to cash, Treasuries, or a volatility hedge when markets look overheated, choppy, or trending down. Picks recent top‑performing sub‑systems.
NutHow it works
A rules‑based switcher. It rotates between offense (TQQQ/SPXL), defense (BIL T‑bills, EDV/TMF long Treasuries or TBT short bonds), and hedge (VXX volatility). It uses 3 dials: (1) Heat meter (RSI): low = buy dips (often 66% TQQQ + 34% BIL); very high = step out to VXX/cash. (2) Trend: 200‑day averages and stock‑vs‑bond strength gate offense. (3) Calmness: when SPY’s swings are small it tries more ideas; when large it simplifies/defends. It also favors the ~5 sub‑systems that worked best recently.
CheckmarkValue prop
Dynamic, rules-based tech tilt with hedges and bond ballast. OOS: ~13.5% annualized, ~0.58 Sharpe, max drawdown ~34.8%. A risk-managed way to diversify SPY and add downside protection while pursuing tech upside.

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.
