About

A quarterly 60/20/20 mix: US stocks (tech‑tilted, with an extra tilt to the most active indexes), a rules‑based gold‑or‑cash sleeve, and Treasuries, plus an income cushion via JEPQ. Aims to adapt across market conditions.
NutHow it works
Every 3 months it resets: - 20% JEPQ (Nasdaq stocks with options income). - 20% QQQ (big tech/growth). - 10% TLT + 10% IEF (US Treasury bonds). - 20% GLD (gold) if its 50‑day avg price > 200‑day avg (uptrend); otherwise BIL (T‑Bills/cash‑like). - 20% to the 3 most “bouncy” of SPY (S&P 500), DIA (Dow), IWM (small caps), QQQ—giving extra to the top 2.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy beats the S&P 500 on risk-adjusted return: Sharpe ~1.72 vs ~1.32, annualized return ~21.17% vs ~21.07%, max drawdown ~12.5% vs ~18.8%, and beta ~0.69—lower risk with similar or higher 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.
