About

A rules‑based, daily “airbag” portfolio. It rides stock uptrends, but when things get overheated or volatile it rotates to T‑bills, market‑neutral hedges, Treasuries, gold, or volatility funds. Each day it selects the 3 smoothest, lower‑risk mixes to hold.
NutHow it works
Every day it checks three things: trend (price vs a long-term average), heat (RSI = a 0–100 “hot/cold” meter), and turbulence (VIX). If markets are hot or jumpy it shifts to safety (T‑bills BIL, market‑neutral BTAL) and may buy volatility (VIXY/UVXY = crash airbags). If trends are healthy and calm it owns growth/tech (e.g., QQQ; sometimes TQQQ/TECL) and strong sectors (XLE, XLP). If falling, it prefers Treasuries (TLT), gold (GLD), or shorts (PSQ/SH). It then picks the 3 lowest‑risk mixes by 20‑day return smoothness.
CheckmarkValue prop
Daily, rules-based airbag strategy that rotates to safety when markets heat up or jump, and stays invested in growth when calm. Out-of-sample performance shows smoother returns, smaller drawdowns, and 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.
