About

A meta‑portfolio that constantly picks the three best recent rule‑based playbooks. Those playbooks chase uptrends in growth/tech and quickly pivot to Treasuries, cash, defensive sectors, or hedges on stress. Very active; uses leveraged and volatility ETFs.
NutHow it works
It’s a “manager of managers.” Each day it scores many rule‑based playbooks by recent results, buys the top 3, and splits money equally. Inside each playbook, simple checks guide switches: trend (uptrend vs downtrend), a short‑term heat meter (RSI) for “too hot/too cold,” and volatility spikes. In calm uptrends it favors growth/tech funds; in stress it pivots to Treasuries, cash, defensive sectors, or short/volatility hedges. Very active and high risk due to 3x and VIX funds.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample results show this manager‑of‑managers strategy tilts to growth in uptrends and quickly pivots to Treasuries/cash in stress, aiming for stronger downside protection and higher risk‑adjusted returns than the S&P 500 across regimes.

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.
