About

Daily natural-gas strategy that rotates between UNG/UNL (long), BOIL (2x long), and KOLD (2x short) using oversold/overheated readings and cross-market trend checks. Seeks high, low-correlation returns; very high risk.
NutHow it works
Runs daily. It switches among natural-gas funds: UNG/UNL (track NG price; UNL spreads across 12 months), BOIL (2x up bet), or KOLD (2x down bet). If broad commodities look washed out (low RSI, a quick overbought/oversold score), it buys UNG/UNL. If some markets look overheated (high RSI), it leans to KOLD. Otherwise it checks short-term trend leaders across stocks/bonds/credit: if defensive assets lead, pick KOLD; if risk-on leads, pick BOIL.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample performance shows higher risk-adjusted returns with low equity correlation, offering diversification and potential outsized gains in volatile markets—aiming to outperform the S&P 500 on a risk-adjusted basis while reducing drawdowns.

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.
