About

Rules-based, daily strategy mixing gold/Bitcoin/defensive and momentum stocks, adding commodities when signals are strong, and otherwise sitting in a cash-like ETF. Uses trend and oversold signals; steadier assets get more weight.
NutHow it works
Two sleeves. 1) Diversified core balances gold, an anti‑beta stock hedge, Bitcoin, momentum‑tilted stocks, and sometimes commodities/metals. Steadier assets get more weight; if trends look weak it parks in a cash‑like fund. 2) A timing sleeve flips between Utilities/Staples and cash using simple trend/relative‑strength checks across markets. RSI ≈ how stretched price is; very low can trigger a small commodities bet. KMLM is a trend ETF used only as a yardstick. Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: Sharpe 2.74 vs SPY 2.64; Calmar 5.25; max drawdown 1.89% vs 5.07% for SPY. A rules-based, multi-sleeve strategy blending gold, Bitcoin, defensives and trends for steadier, higher risk-adjusted returns 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.
