About

Daily, it rides big‑cap tech in uptrends, adds volatility/market‑neutral hedges when things look too hot, and if momentum fades it shifts to managed‑futures, the U.S. dollar, or even shorts tech. Core holds 6 steady stocks; a small EM sleeve flips bull/bear.
NutHow it works
Rough mix: ~50% a daily switcher, ~40% six steady U.S. stocks (Costco, Altria, Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk, Progressive, Coca‑Cola Consolidated), ~10% EM. Each day it checks: is the market “hot” or “washed out” (RSI = short‑term speedometer)? Hot → add crash airbags (VIXY=volatility, BTAL=market‑neutral). Washed out → buy tech turbo (TQQQ/QLD). Otherwise compare stocks to KMLM (managed‑futures trend fund): if stocks lead, hold QQQ/TQQQ; if KMLM leads, rotate to calmer picks (KMLM/UUP=US$ or FTLS) or short tech (PSQ).
CheckmarkValue prop
Diversified, risk-managed strategy blending momentum, hedges, and managed futures to complement the S&P. Out-of-sample Calmar ~1.94 and beta ~1 aim for diversification and steadier risk-adjusted returns beyond pure tech bets.

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.
