About

Three sleeves: a big bond/dollar trend core (53%), a small cross‑asset momentum sleeve (17%), and an active Nasdaq timing sleeve (30%) that flips between QQQ/TQQQ and PSQ/SQQQ using trend, overbought/oversold, and fear signals. K‑1‑free commodities via PDBC.
NutHow it works
- 53%: Own broad U.S. bonds (BND) when they trend up; otherwise own the U.S. dollar (USDU). Four timeframes reduce whipsaws. - 17%: Hold the 2 best 6‑month performers among stocks (SPY), long Treasuries (TLT), gold miners (GDX), broad commodities (PDBC), and floating‑rate bonds (FLOT). - 30%: Time the Nasdaq. When trends are healthy and fear is low, own QQQ or 3x QQQ (TQQQ). When markets look stretched or fearful, hedge/short with PSQ or SQQQ. Signals use simple ideas: trends (moving averages), “overbought/oversold” readings (RSI), and fear gauges (like UVXY).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: Sharpe 1.68 vs SPY 1.39, max drawdown 7.1% vs 18.8%, Calmar 2.81, beta 0.30, ~20% annualized return (vs SPY ~23%). Better risk control, diversification, and K-1-free commodity exposure.

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.
