About

A high‑octane, rules‑based mix that shifts among leveraged bonds, stocks, gold, and cash. 50% follows Treasury trends; 40% rides stock uptrends (else mostly cash); 10% stays in 3x small‑caps and Dow. Uses moving‑average trends, 60‑day returns, and RSI to switch.
NutHow it works
50% follows long‑term Treasury bond trends (TLT). If bonds trend up, it picks the stronger of bonds (TMF/TLT) or stocks (SPY) by recent 60‑day gains. If bonds trend down, it may short bonds (TMV) or use 2x gold (UGL); else holds T‑Bills (SHV). 40% rides stock uptrends with 3x Nasdaq (TQQQ) and 3x S&P 500 (UPRO); if weak, it parks in SHV and only uses 3x Tech (TECL) on sharp oversold dips. 10% stays in 3x Small‑Caps (URTY) and 3x Dow (UDOW). Trend = price above long‑term average; oversold uses RSI (speed of recent moves).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy delivers ~35.6% annualized return vs SPY's 21.4%, higher Sharpe (~1.33) and Calmar (~1.91), and a small drawdown edge (~18.66% vs 18.76%) over ~754 days.

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.
