About

Daily tactical strategy: ride the strongest 3x stock ETFs when SPY and bonds look safe; flip to inverse 3x funds, Treasuries, dollar, gold, or volatility (UVXY) when risk spikes. Uses RSI (a hot/cold gauge) on SPY/TLT to switch Risk‑On vs Risk‑Off.
NutHow it works
It watches SPY (big US stocks) and TLT (long Treasuries). RSI is a quick hot/cold meter of recent buying vs selling. If SPY is calm and bonds steady, it goes Risk‑On: buys the 2–3 strongest 3x stock funds (e.g., TQQQ, UPRO, HIBL; sometimes 3x long bonds TMF). If stocks overheat/roll over or rates jump, it goes Risk‑Off: inverse 3x funds (SQQQ/SDS/TMV) plus dollar (UUP), gold (GLD), staples (XLP), or T‑bills. In sharp drops it may buy UVXY. Daily rebalanced; very high risk.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return ~28.6% vs SPY ~20.9%, with dynamic risk-on/risk-off shifts and hedges that aim to capture bull markets while defending in downturns. Higher upside, but expect sizable drawdowns (≈60%).

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.
