About

Aggressive, rules-based rotation that leans into rising US stocks, flips to commodities or defenses when stress hits, and actively trades long Treasuries with leverage. Rebalances daily; uses simple trend, momentum, and volatility cues.
NutHow it works
Every day it checks simple rules to decide what to hold. If US stocks are trending up and calm, it owns aggressive stock funds (UPRO/TQQQ). If stocks wobble or fall, it shifts to shorts (PSQ/SH/SPXU), volatility (UVXY), the US dollar (UUP), bonds, or commodities (DBC/GLD). A separate bond sleeve flips between 3x long or short Treasuries (TMF/TMV) based on trend/overbought. A small sleeve rotates energy (VDE/QCLN) and utilities (XLU/VPU) vs short‑term bonds (BSV).
CheckmarkValue prop
Diversified, rules-based rotation across stocks, commodities, bonds and hedges aims to chase trends while defending in stress. Out-of-sample returns trail the S&P, but it adds inflation hedges and regime-aware risk management for a more resilient core.

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.
