About

Two-part tactical mix. Half “surfs” calm periods by buying the most beaten‑down of tech or Treasuries; when jumpy, parks in bonds. Half buys dips in bear phases; in bulls it runs a 55/45 leveraged stocks/Treasuries blend, using T‑bills as a safety brake. No K‑1.
NutHow it works
Two sleeves. A) Calm markets: buy one fund that looks most “oversold” by a simple hot/cold score (RSI; lower = more beaten‑down) from tech (TECL/TQQQ) or Treasuries; if markets get jumpy, hold Treasuries (SHY/TLT). B) If the S&P is >10% below a recent high, buy dips after 5‑day drops in QQQ/SPY via 3× funds (TQQQ/UPRO), unless a +5% snap‑back day—then sit in T‑bills (BIL). Otherwise (bull), hold ~55% 3× stocks (UPRO+TQQQ) and 45% 3× long Treasuries (TMF), moving to T‑bills when risk spikes. No K‑1.
CheckmarkValue prop
Two-sleeve tactical strategy blends levered tech bets with bond ballast. Out-of-sample: about 36% annualized return vs SPY ~22%, but ~38% max drawdown vs SPY’s ~19%. Higher growth potential with more risk—best for long horizons.

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.
