About

A fast, risk‑switching strategy that buys 3× tech/semis on dips in uptrends, flips to volatility hedges or shorts when markets look overheated, and parks in safe assets or managed futures when trends break. Blends three risk levels for diversification.
NutHow it works
It blends three risk bands (about 60%/30%/10%). Each day it checks: is the market hot, cold, or normal? • Hot/overheated (fear rising): buy crash protection (UVXY/UVIX), inverse QQQ, or sit in T‑Bills (BIL/SHV). • Cold/washed‑out but uptrend intact: “buy the dip” with 3× tech/semis (TQQQ, TECL, SOXL, UPRO). • Trend broken: rotate to a safety mix (Treasuries, dollar, gold) or KMLM managed futures. It favors recent winners and trims losers.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: ~53% annualized vs ~19% for the S&P, driven by regime-switching and crisis alpha from managed futures. Calmar ~1.18 signals solid risk-adjusted returns; hedges help in stress periods, though drawdowns can be larger.

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.
