About

A safety‑first, rules‑based “cash runner” that treats very strong momentum as a warning. It mostly hides in T‑bills, sometimes adds defensive BTAL or gold, and has a volatility‑spike alarm. Here, hedge slots are cash, making it ultra‑conservative.
NutHow it works
It watches for “overheated” markets using RSI (a 0–100 speedometer of recent price moves; high = overheated). When big indexes/sectors flash high RSI, it mostly parks in BIL (T‑bills), sometimes adds BTAL (defensive) or GLD (gold). A UVXY/VIXY alarm flags volatility spikes. In this build, hedge slots are set to BIL, so it stays very cash‑heavy. Rebalances daily. Ticker key: BIL=T‑bills, BTAL=defensive, GLD=gold, UVXY/VIXY=volatility, SPY/QQQ=US stocks, XLF/SMH/RETL=sectors.
CheckmarkValue prop
Cash-first, risk-controlled strategy. Out-of-sample Calmar ~396 and max drawdown ~0.01% vs SPY’s ~18.8% drawdown. Near-zero beta with ~4.3% return, delivering far superior risk-adjusted results versus 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.
