About

Weekly, decide if Bitcoin is trending up or down. In uptrends, hold the stronger of Bitcoin (GBTC) or the U.S. dollar (USDU). In downtrends, buy the most “oversold” of Bitcoin, gold (GLD), commodities (PDBC), or the dollar to try for a rebound.
NutHow it works
Each week it checks Bitcoin’s trend using GBTC: is the 5‑day average price below the 20‑day average? If yes (downtrend), buy whichever of GBTC (Bitcoin), GLD (gold), PDBC (broad commodities), or USDU (long U.S. dollar) has the lowest 11‑day RSI—a “how sold‑off” score (low = beaten down). If no (uptrend), pick GBTC or USDU based on the stronger ~4‑month return.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~20.5% annualized return vs ~19.8% for the S&P, using a simple regime-based rotation that captures BTC upside and hedges downturns with gold, USD, and commodities. Note: higher drawdowns than the S&P.

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.
