About

A risk‑managed, multi‑sleeve strategy that fades overheated markets into hedges/cash, buys select dips, and rotates among tech, managed futures (KMLM), bonds, and defensives. Uses simple RSI/trend rules with modest, conditional leverage.
NutHow it works
Goal: help you sleep at night. It watches a short‑term “heat meter” (RSI, 0–100). If stocks look too hot, it hides in fear hedges (VIX funds), long Treasuries, or T‑Bills. If select funds get washed out, it buys small rebounds. Otherwise it rotates among tech, a diversifier called KMLM (a managed‑futures fund), or a low‑vol long/short mix. Separate sleeves toggle emerging markets with inflation trends and run Bull/Mild‑Bull/Mild‑Bear/Bear playbooks.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample tested: risk-managed, multi-sleeve strategy fades heat, buys dips, and rotates across tech, futures, bonds, and defensives. Low beta (~0.38) and smaller drawdowns with strong Calmar enable steadier, diversified gains 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.
