About

Half in a tactical Treasury sleeve (can flip long, short, or T‑bills). Half in 3x stock ETFs when the market trends up; otherwise mostly sits in T‑bills, with rare tech bounces. Uses trend and overbought/oversold signals. High volatility.
NutHow it works
Targets a 50/50 mix of bonds and stocks, but turns risk up or down with rules. Bond half: rotates among long Treasuries, inverse Treasuries, or T‑bills using two signals—trend (price vs long‑term average) and “heat” (RSI: low=washed‑out, high=stretched). Stock half: owns 3x index funds (Nasdaq‑100/S&P 500) when SPY is above its 200‑day average; otherwise parks in T‑bills, with occasional short tech bounces. Plus small 5% sleeves in 3x small‑caps and 3x Dow.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return ~31% vs SPY ~23%, with a Calmar near 1. A regime-based bond sleeve plus levered equity bets targets higher growth while risk rules aim to cap downside—though drawdowns can be larger in severe 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.
