About

Two‑regime portfolio: add Bitcoin and 2× Nasdaq when Bitcoin’s 3‑month return beats QQQ; otherwise drop Bitcoin and hold regular Nasdaq plus gold and an anti‑beta hedge to soften drawdowns.
NutHow it works
It regularly checks the last ~3 months: if Bitcoin beat the Nasdaq‑100 (QQQ), it goes risk‑on: 18% Bitcoin (use IBIT; GBTC in backtest), 37% QLD (2× Nasdaq), 30% GLD (gold), 15% BTAL (market‑neutral fund that favors steady, low‑vol stocks over high‑fliers). If Bitcoin lags, it goes risk‑off: 0% Bitcoin, 40% QQQ (regular Nasdaq), 35% GLD, 25% BTAL. Rebalances when weights drift ~5%.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~39% annual return with ~15% max drawdown and Calmar ~2.63, vs S&P ~16% return and ~19% drawdown. Sharpe ~2.16 vs ~0.91. BTC-led Nasdaq (2×) with gold and anti-beta hedges to limit losses.

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.
