About

A tactical, daily‑rebalanced energy strategy. It rides oil and natural‑gas uptrends (XLE, USO/UNG), buys sharp dips briefly, and hedges or shorts with inverse/defensive ETFs (DRIP, DUG, KOLD, BTAL, BIL) when commodity momentum weakens.
NutHow it works
It first checks if commodities are strong (COM’s 30‑day RSI—a heat gauge: high=hot, low=cold). If strong, it rides energy uptrends (XLE above its short average): buys oil/gas via XLE/GUSH/BOIL unless they’re too “hot,” then hedges or holds cash (DRIP/DUG/KOLD/BIL). A nat‑gas sleeve (FCG + BOIL/KOLD) flips by UNG’s trend and dollar strength (UUP). Rebalances daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Energy/commodity tactical strategy with low market beta (~0.74) and positive OOS risk-adjusted return. Diversifies, adds inflation hedging, and employs active hedging/cash buffers. Note: higher drawdown vs SPY—best as a portfolio complement, not stand-alone.

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.
