About

A daily, rules‑based “risk on/risk off” strategy. It rides stock uptrends (often with 3x ETFs), but shifts to commodities, bonds, the dollar, or hedges when trends weaken or volatility spikes. Rough mix: 45% stocks/commodities, 45% Treasuries, 10% energy/utilities.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks four things: trend (price vs 200‑day average), momentum (recent returns), RSI (0–100 heat; >70 hot, <30 cold), and volatility (how jumpy). If stocks are strong and calm, it uses stock ETFs (often 3x like UPRO/TQQQ). If weak or jumpy, it rotates into commodities (DBC, gold GLD), shorts (SH/PSQ), bonds/cash, or a volatility hedge (UVXY). A separate sleeve times long/short 20‑yr Treasuries (TMF/TMV). Target mix: ~45% stocks/commodities, ~45% Treasuries, ~10% energy/utilities.
CheckmarkValue prop
Dynamic, rules-based multi-asset strategy that rotates among stocks, commodities, Treasuries and hedges. It seeks to ride uptrends while using volatility hedges to guard against crashes, delivering diversification beyond the S&P 500.

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.
