About

A rules-based, K‑1‑free portfolio: 53% bonds-or-dollar trend, 30% tactical Nasdaq (long or hedged, sometimes leveraged), 17% commodity/macro momentum. Uses “stretched” and trend checks to lean into uptrends and defend in selloffs.
NutHow it works
- 53% Bond/USD sleeve: Own bonds (BND) when bond prices trend up; otherwise own the US dollar (USDU). - 30% Nasdaq sleeve: Switch among QQQ (long), TQQQ (3x long), PSQ/SQQQ (inverse) using simple “stretched up/down” signals (RSI) plus trend checks from bonds, the dollar, and commodities. - 17% Commodity/macro sleeve: Every month-like cycle, own the 2 best 4‑month performers among broad commodities (PDBC), gold miners (GDX), stocks (SPY), long Treasuries (TLT), and floating‑rate notes (FLOT).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample Sharpe 1.74 vs 1.39, Calmar 2.90, max drawdown 7.1% vs 18.8%, beta ~0.30. Higher risk-adjusted returns with far lower drawdowns, plus K-1 free, diversified three-sleeve design that hedges macro risk while seeking upside.

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.
