About

A daily, risk‑managed blend of gold, defensive factors, selective commodities, and a small Bitcoin sleeve, with tactical utilities/staples and a crash‑hedge. Uses trend and “hot/cold” (RSI) checks and parks in cash‑like BOXX when signals are weak.
NutHow it works
Rebalanced daily, it favors steadier funds (inverse‑vol weighting). Core mix: gold (GLD), low‑vol long/short stocks (BTAL), Bitcoin (BITO), stock momentum (SPMO), large caps (TMFC), plus a crash hedge (CAOS—unless it just spiked; then cash‑like BOXX). A commodity sleeve buys PDBC (broad commodities) and XME (miners) only when uptrends pass moving‑average tests and aren’t overheated (RSI = 0–100 “hot/cold” gauge); otherwise BOXX. Defensive sectors can switch on when cross‑asset checks favor safety.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: Sharpe ~2.74 vs SPY ~2.64, drawdowns ~1.89% vs ~5.07%, Calmar ~5.25. Diversified risk‑managed mix (gold, defensives, cash-like parking, tail-risk hedge) lowers risk while preserving growth.

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.
