About

A daily, rules-based, multi-asset system that blends momentum across commodities, gold, and select equities with risk hedges and a tech-tilt via QLD/QID, balanced by a bond sleeve for risk control.
NutHow it works
A daily, rules-based system that (1) builds a diversified pool of ETFs across commodities, gold, energy, agriculture, and select equities; (2) ranks the pool by short-term performance and selects the top four to hold; (3) confirms trends with moving averages and other indicators; (4) applies tilt rules into leveraged tech (QLD) or hedges (QID, SH, TLT, GLD) based on RSI and trend signals; (5) uses cash/bond sleeves to limit drawdown; (6) rebalances every day to maintain the target mix (QLD/FTLT + Bonds) with a goal of a specific volatility level.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: higher risk-adjusted return (oos Sharpe ~1.18 vs S&P ~1.00), far smaller drawdown (~7.3% vs ~18.8%), and lower volatility. A steadier, downside-protected path with competitive upside vs the S&P 500.

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.
