About

A rules‑based, daily‑rebalanced portfolio that toggles risk‑on/off, rotates among U.S. stocks (often tech), Treasuries, gold, commodities and cash using trend and hot/cold gauges. Overheated markets add VIX/hedges; oversold markets get dip‑buys. Seeks growth with drawdown control.
NutHow it works
Daily, it flips between risk‑on and defense. It calls risk‑on when a broad bond fund looks stronger than a short‑stock fund (checked with a 0–100 hot/cold price gauge); otherwise defense. Risk‑on: own big U.S. stocks (often tech). Trend lines add/trim. Too hot → add VIX (“fear”) and market‑neutral hedges; too cold → buy dips (sometimes with leveraged tech). It also rotates into Treasuries, gold, oil/commodity funds, clean‑energy and natural‑gas stocks when trends are up; otherwise it parks in cash‑like T‑bills or uses inverse/short funds to cushion drops.
CheckmarkValue prop
Risk-managed, diversified, rules-based strategy that uses risk-on/off tilts and hedges to dampen drawdowns and reduce volatility versus the S&P 500, while still seeking growth. A protective sleeve to complement an SPY core.

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.
