About

A fast‑moving, rules‑based strategy that rides tech‑led rallies with leveraged ETFs and quickly flips to cash‑like T‑Bills and inverse funds when signals turn. It uses short‑term “hot/cold” readings, trends, and bond stress to switch between offense and defense.
NutHow it works
It blends two rule-sets. One compares short‑term bond vs stock strength to rotate among aggressive ETFs or inverse hedges. The other rides 3x Nasdaq (TQQQ) when trend is healthy, but flips to cash‑like T‑Bills + inverse QQQ or semiconductor long/short when markets look overheated or stressed.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: ~49% annualized return vs SPY ~21%, Calmar ~1.54. Dynamic offense/defense using Nasdaq bets and hedges seeks big rallies while protecting on stress—higher upside with disciplined risk.

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.
