About

A daily, rules-based switcher: go aggressive with 2x S&P 500 in calm uptrends, defend with short funds or bonds in downtrends, and add a volatility hedge at extremes. Focused on U.S. large-caps, tech, Treasuries, and T-bills.
NutHow it works
Each day it asks: are U.S. stocks hot or cold (a 0–100 “heat” score), trending, or getting volatile? - Calm uptrend: use SSO (2x S&P 500). If choppy, sometimes hold TMF (3x long Treasuries). - Downtrend: shift to SH/PSQ (short S&P/Nasdaq), BSV (short‑term bonds), or BIL (T‑bills). - If markets look frothy or volatility jumps, add UVXY (volatility hedge). Focus: SPY/QQQ, tech, Treasuries, cash-like bonds.
CheckmarkValue prop
Diversified, rules-based swing strategy with a lower beta (~0.86) and built-in volatility hedges. Out-of-sample: ~22.2% annualized return, 27.9% max drawdown, Calmar ~0.80. Adds diversification and risk management to a SPY core, not just more stock risk.

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.
