About

An aggressive, rules‑based switcher: press the gas in tech uptrends (3x funds like TQQQ), hit the brakes in selloffs (T‑bills + inverse QQQ) or use volatility hedges (UVXY/SVXY/VIXM). Uses simple “hot/cold” and trend checks, plus bond/dollar cues.
NutHow it works
It rides strong stock uptrends with turbocharged funds (like TQQQ) and, when the market weakens or gets “too hot,” it quickly shifts to defense (T‑bills + inverse QQQ, or VIX funds). It uses simple gauges: “overbought/oversold” (RSI, a 0–100 heat meter) and moving averages (recent average price). Bond and dollar signals pick the best safe haven.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~62% annualized return with higher risk-adjusted metrics (Calmar ~2.36, Sharpe ~1.20) vs S&P. More upside, with disciplined hedges (bonds, inverse/volatility) to navigate downturns.

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.
