About

A fast‑moving, risk‑managed portfolio: it rides tech‑led uptrends (sometimes with 2–3x funds) but quickly hedges or goes defensive (Treasuries, T‑bills, BTAL, inverse funds) when markets overheat or get volatile, adding KMLM and commodities for crisis/inflation defense.
NutHow it works
It’s a risk‑on/risk‑off switch. If stocks trend up and aren’t “too hot,” it leans into large‑cap U.S. stocks (often tech), sometimes with 2–3x funds. If they look overheated or shaky (volatility rising), it shifts to safety: Treasuries, T‑bills, market‑neutral BTAL, gold, or inverse funds. In choppy/inflationary periods it adds KMLM (managed‑futures) and commodities. RSI = a hot/cold gauge; moving averages = long‑term trend lines.
CheckmarkValue prop
Diversified, risk‑managed strategy seeking upside in tech and downside protection with futures and hedges, targeting lower SPY correlation and long‑term resilience—even if recent out‑of‑sample results were mixed.

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.
