About

A daily, rules‑based, volatility‑aware ensemble that surfs market waves: levered tech in healthy uptrends; hedges/shorts when stocks look too hot; and, using bond/volatility cues, can switch to defense (bonds, dollar, commodities).
NutHow it works
Each day the system checks if stocks are overheated or washed‑out, and whether bonds beat stocks. When too hot, it hedges or buys volatility; when calm and trending up, it rides growth (mainly Nasdaq/tech). If stress or rising rates, it rotates to shorts, bonds, dollar or commodities. It also picks the few playbooks that worked best lately. RSI = 0–100 heat gauge. Key ETFs: TQQQ(3× Nasdaq), SQQQ(−3×), UVXY/UVIX(vol↑), SVIX(vol↓), TMF/TMV(bonds), BTAL(defense), DBC(commodities), UUP(USD).
CheckmarkValue prop
A rules-based, volatility-aware overlay that rotates between growth and defenses to complement an S&P core. In out-of-sample testing it shows higher risk and larger drawdowns than the S&P, so use as a tactical diversification sleeve, not a core replacement.

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.
