About

A daily, tactical ETF portfolio that toggles between offense (own strong stock sectors or quick tech dips) and defense (cash‑like T‑bills, Treasuries, gold, and inverse ETFs) using simple signals for trend, overbought/oversold, and bond‑vs‑stock strength.
NutHow it works
It splits money across several mini‑strategies and checks markets daily. - If stocks look very hot short‑term, it adds small hedges (cash‑like T‑bills and mild “short” funds). - If price is above its long‑term average, it owns the strongest stock sectors; if below, it favors gold, Treasuries, and shorts. - It buys big tech dips briefly. - It flips Emerging Markets long/short using bond vs stock strength.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~30% annualized return, ~7.6% max drawdown, Sharpe ~1.79 vs S&P ~1.03, and Calmar ~3.94. SPY max drawdown ~18.8%. Higher risk-adjusted growth with tighter downside via diversified tactical hedging.

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.
