About

80% cash-like T‑bills for stability, plus two 10% tactical sleeves: one swings between volatility hedges, 3x bullish tech/stock funds, or inverse/cash; the other trades gold miners long/short. Uses “hot/cold” and trend signals; rebalances daily.
NutHow it works
- 80% sits in very short-term Treasuries (cash-like). - 10% “YOLO” sleeve: If stocks look overheated (a hot/cold meter called RSI is high), hedge with volatility (VXX). If markets look washed out (RSI very low), buy 3x bullish index funds for a bounce. Otherwise follow the trend: own 3x Nasdaq when trends are strong, or flip to 3x inverse/cash when they weaken. If losses deepen past a cutoff, hold cash. - 10% Gold miners sleeve: Similar idea for gold miners—short when overheated, buy when washed out, or sit in cash depending on broader momentum. - Rebalances daily.

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.
