About

Daily, rules‑based rotation across stocks, tech, Treasuries, metals, cash‑like funds, and hedges. Uses a market trend check to lean risk‑on, buys deep dips in selloffs, and adds small contrarian bets in defensive names.
NutHow it works
It first checks if the whole U.S. market (VTI) is above its long‑term trend. If yes, it holds the two strongest areas among big stocks/tech, Treasuries, metals, or cash‑like funds. If no, it buys sharp dips in 3× index funds; otherwise it shifts to hedges. Three small side sleeves buy recently beaten‑down defensive stocks and metals. Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Outperforms the S&P with steadier gains: oos return 51% vs 31%, drawdown 3.5% vs 5.1%, Sharpe 3.73 vs 2.49. Diversified, rules-based, daily-rebalanced strategy with disciplined risk control.

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.
