About

Bond-heavy core plus a tactical sleeve that rides Nasdaq uptrends with leverage and, when conditions sour, shifts to Treasuries, inverse Nasdaq, or a short-term momentum basket of commodities/defensive themes. Rebalanced daily.
NutHow it works
About 55% sits in short/mid US Treasuries (IEI, SHV) for stability. The other ~45% is active: in uptrends it rides a 2x Nasdaq fund (QLD) and sometimes 2x Tech (ROM) after sharp drops; when markets look weak or overheated it moves to long Treasuries (TLT), an inverse Nasdaq fund (QID), or a small basket ranked by recent gains (e.g., gold GLD, oil USO, broad commodities DBC/PDBC/COMT, nat gas BOIL/KOLD, real estate DRN, gaming ESPO, leisure PEJ, short S&P SH). Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Bond-core with agile, leveraged Nasdaq bets targets stronger risk-adjusted returns than the S&P. Out-of-sample: Sharpe ~1.18 vs ~1.00, max drawdown ~7.3% vs ~18.8%, Calmar ~2.08, lower beta. More resilience, steadier long-term growth.

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.
