About

Rules-based, daily rotation. Buys strong stocks (often tech/semis) in uptrends; moves to T‑Bills, Treasuries, gold/commodities, or volatility/short hedges when risk rises. Uses RSI (hot/cold), VIX, and trend signals; includes leveraged ETFs to boost or hedge moves.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks trend (price vs averages), “hot/cold” readings (RSI = how stretched a move is), and fear (VIX via VIXY). If healthy, it leans into US growth/tech (QQQ/TQQQ=3× Nasdaq), semis, and energy. If risk rises, it shifts to T‑Bills (BIL), Treasuries (TLT/TMF), gold (GLD), commodities (DBC/DBO), or hedges (PSQ/SH; UVXY/SVXY). It favors tech/semis; rotates to defensives (XLP, utilities) when needed.
CheckmarkValue prop
Defensive, rules-based multi-asset strategy that trims losses and adds diversification alongside the S&P. OOS: drawdown 9.4% vs SPY 18.8%, beta ~0.43, Calmar ~0.57— steadier risk with equity exposure.

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.
