About

Two-sleeve tactical mix. In calm/uptrends it favors 3x US stock ETFs (UPRO/TQQQ), sized by recent volatility. In stress (fear spike, falling bonds, quick drops), it shifts to T-bills/Treasuries (BIL/SHY/BND), the US dollar (UUP), and occasional hedges (SQQQ/TBF).
NutHow it works
It’s a rules-based “go fast or slow” plan using two sleeves (60%/40%). When fear spikes or markets drop fast, it hides in short‑term Treasuries (BIL/SHY), core bonds (BND), and the US dollar (UUP). When conditions look calm or improving, it tilts to 3x US stock funds (UPRO = S&P 500, TQQQ = Nasdaq‑100), giving more weight to the calmer one. It uses simple checks: a fear gauge (VIXM) getting “hot,” bonds vs cash, interest‑rate trend (via TLT), and recent worst‑drop tests.
CheckmarkValue prop
Dynamic regime-switching strategy: levered equity exposure in calm markets, hedges (Treasuries/USD) in spikes. Out-of-sample: 20.46% annualized vs SPY, with built-in diversification and risk-off protection.

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.
