About

Single-ETF, rules-based switcher. Uses bond trend to choose a regime: if bonds are strong, tilt to tech or defenses; if bonds are weak, hold calmer energy. Within each sleeve it buys the recent laggard or the lower-volatility choice.
NutHow it works
1) Check if TLT (long‑term Treasuries) is above its 150‑day average price. If yes, check QQQ: if its 5‑day avg > 21‑day avg, buy the most recently dipped 3x tech/semis fund (TQQQ/TECL/SOXL). If not, buy the most recently dipped defensive pick: BTAL (anti‑beta market‑neutral) or TMF/TYD (3x Treasuries). 2) If TLT is below its 150‑day avg, hold the calmer energy fund (lower 2‑week volatility) between XLE (big oil) and XOP (explorers).
CheckmarkValue prop
Regime-aware, single-ETF strategy aiming for outsized upside. Out-of-sample: ~39% annualized return vs ~21% for S&P; Calmar ~1.38; Sharpe ~0.98. Note higher drawdowns (~28%) vs ~19% but stronger risk-adjusted upside.

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.
