About

A daily, rules-based “gas or brake” portfolio. It rides big‑tech uptrends, but when markets run hot or crack, it shifts to volatility hedges, market‑neutral, managed futures (KMLM), bonds/gold/cash, or even inverse tech. ~10% uses similar logic in emerging markets.
NutHow it works
Each day it asks: Is the stock market hot or cold? If short‑term heat is extreme, it adds crash‑protection (a VIX fund and a market‑neutral hedge). If there’s a sharp dip, it buys a lighter 2x Nasdaq fund for rebounds. If stocks lose momentum to a trend fund (KMLM), it rotates into KMLM, a long‑short fund, or the U.S. dollar. A small sleeve holds six steady stocks. Emerging markets use the same gates and only add leverage when trends are strong.
CheckmarkValue prop
Adaptive, rules-based strategy blending tech momentum with crash hedges, managed futures, and EM diversification. Out-of-sample Sharpe 1.22 and Calmar 2.89 signal strong risk-adjusted potential and proactive drawdown defense 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.
