About

A daily, rules-based “equities with airbags” system: ride tech-led uptrends with leveraged index funds, and quickly hedge or flip to safe assets (dollar, gold, Treasuries, volatility) when risk rises. Includes credit and trend checks and small commodity sleeves.
NutHow it works
Daily checklist: 1) Is the market trending up (S&P 500 above its long-term average) and is credit calm? If yes, it buys tech-heavy funds (QQQ/TQQQ, UPRO). 2) If prices look overheated short term, it adds hedges (US dollar, gold) or volatility protection. 3) If trends break, it shifts to Treasuries, cash-like T‑bills, or even shorts. Small sleeves trade energy/commodities and bonds for extra diversification.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample risk-managed strategy with airbags: caps losses (drawdowns around 15% vs SPY around 19%), uses hedges and regime shifts to protect capital, with a Calmar around 0.80 and positive risk-adjusted return—even when raw upside lags the S&P.

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.
