About

A rules‑based, daily‑rebalanced, multi‑asset strategy that presses offense in calm, uptrending markets (leveraged Nasdaq, short‑vol) and flips to hedges in stress (VIX, dollar, T‑bills, gold, staples). It also trend‑trades bonds (TMF/TMV) and uses cross‑asset momentum.
NutHow it works
RSI is a speedometer of recent price moves: high = overheated, low = washed‑out. The strategy gauges if markets are calm or stressed. When calm and trends are up it buys growth via Nasdaq funds (QLD/TQQQ) or short‑volatility (SVXY), often paired with a defensive fund (BTAL). When stress rises it shifts to hedges: volatility up‑fund (UVXY), short‑term Treasuries (SHY/SHV), US dollar (UUP/USDU), gold (GLD), staples (XLP). A bond engine rides rate trends with TMF/TMV. A momentum sleeve picks recent winners across stocks, bonds, dollar, gold, and commodities (DBC).
CheckmarkValue prop
Regime-aware, multi-asset strategy blending Nasdaq momentum with hedges and bonds. Out-of-sample Sharpe ~1.01 and Calmar ~0.88 offer solid risk-adjusted returns and diversification, complementing the S&P with downside management.

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.
