About

A daily, rules‑based “offense/defense” system. It buys leveraged tech/semis on dips when trends and bonds say “risk‑on,” and swiftly switches to hedges—volatility, cash‑like T‑Bills, bond trades, shorts, and managed‑futures (KMLM)—when markets look hot or risky.
NutHow it works
Daily, it asks 3 things: Is the S&P 500 above its long‑term trend? Are interest rates rising or falling? Are stocks hot or washed‑out? Based on that it either: 1) buys dips in high‑growth tech/semis (often with leverage), 2) takes profits or hedges with volatility, or 3) flips to defense (cash‑like T‑Bills, bond trades, shorts, or managed‑futures like KMLM).
CheckmarkValue prop
Dynamic, rules-based strategy that buys dips in tech/semis with selective leverage and hedges risk with volatility and Treasuries. Out-of-sample: ~67% return vs SPY ~27%, Calmar ~2.42 — higher risk-adjusted upside with defenses.

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.
