About

Rules-based, three-bucket mix: bonds or USD for safety, a tactical Nasdaq sleeve that flips between long and short based on “hot/cold,” trend, and fear signals, plus a small momentum sleeve in commodities/gold/floating-rate. Aims to ride rallies and cut drawdowns.
NutHow it works
Three sleeves: Safety (~53%): BND (bonds) when its trend is up; else USDU (long USD). Growth (~30%): flips between QQQ/TQQQ (3x up Nasdaq) and PSQ/SQQQ (1x/3x down) using gauges: RSI=hot/cold (0–100), moving averages=trend, UVXY=fear, TLT/BIL/IEF=rates. Diversifier (~17%): picks 2 recent winners among PDBC (commodities), GDX (gold miners), FLOT (floating‑rate), SPY, TLT.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy delivers superior risk-adjusted returns vs the S&P: Sharpe 1.74 vs 1.39, drawdown 7.1% vs 18.8%, Calmar ~2.9, beta ~0.30. A rules-based Nasdaq tilt with bond/USD ballast aims to ride rallies and curb losses.

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.
