About

Daily, rules-based “risk-on/risk-off” portfolio. In calm uptrends it rides 3× S&P/Nasdaq and long Treasuries; on sharp drops it buys dips; in turmoil it shifts to gold, dollar, staples, T‑bills, and volatility hedges. Adds small commodity sleeves.
NutHow it works
Daily rules move money among 4 sleeves: growth (3× S&P/Nasdaq), bonds (3× Treasuries), commodities (oil, metals, gold), and safety (dollar, staples, T‑bills). If trends are up and calm, it leans into leverage; on fast drops it buys dips; in storms it pivots to safety/hedges (VIX, inverse tech). RSI=how stretched; MA=trend; vol=bumpiness; drawdown=recent fall.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample Sharpe ~1.144 vs S&P ~1.113; drawdowns ~15.9% vs ~18.8%; Calmar ~1.14. A volatility-aware, rules-based rotation that rides trends, buys dips, and hedges risk for better risk-adjusted growth than 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.
