About

A weekly offense/defense strategy: rides big tech in uptrends, buys oversold bounces in downtrends, and otherwise parks in short-term bonds or uses inverse/VIX hedges to limit damage when markets look overheated or fragile.
NutHow it works
Weekly, rules-based, two-sleeve approach. Offense: If the market’s long-term trend is up, it rides a big‑tech index fund unless it looks overheated, then it briefly hedges. If trend is weak, it buys sharp dips; otherwise it holds hedges/cash-like bonds. Defense: Sits in short‑term bonds most of the time and only adds a VIX‑linked hedge when euphoria or fear gets extreme. Signals use moving averages and RSI (a 0–100 “heat” gauge).
CheckmarkValue prop
Weekly, rules-based strategy that outperforms the S&P: oos annualized return ~47.6% vs ~29.3%, oos Sharpe ~3.00 vs ~2.10, and smaller drawdown (~7.7% vs ~8.9%). Strong Calmar risk control and better risk-adjusted gains.

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.
