About

A rules-based switch: ride recent winners among mega-cap tech (80%) in calm markets; after sharp drops in the Nasdaq or long Treasuries, move to a defensive mix of gold, the US dollar, and long bonds (with tiny equity slices). Uses more weight on steadier assets.
NutHow it works
It watches for quick, sharp drops. If the Nasdaq 100 falls >6% in ~2 weeks, or long US Treasuries fall >7%, it shifts into defense: gold, the US dollar, and long-term Treasuries, with only small slices of stock funds. Otherwise, 80% goes to the 3 best‑performing big tech names (Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Meta, Tesla, Nvidia, AMD, etc.) over the past 10 days, and 20% sits in a steadier basket that favors calmer assets.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: 25.32% annualized vs S&P 22.53%, beta ~0.81, Calmar 1.30. Drawdowns ~19.4% vs ~18.8%. Higher upside from mega-cap tech momentum with gold/USD/bonds hedges for durable, risk-adjusted 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.
