About

A daily, rules-based portfolio that rides tech-led uptrends with leverage, buys dips, and hedges overbought and volatility spikes. Core 70% uses a Four Corners regime model; satellites add a quality stock basket, a tech vs KMLM toggle, and an EM bull/bear sleeve.
NutHow it works
Rebalanced daily. Vol spike (VIXY) => T-Bills (BIL). Very hot (RSI>80) => short-term hedges (EDV/VIXY/BTAL). Very cold (RSI<30) => buy TQQQ or SPXL + VWO. Core 70%: regime test (growth vs utilities; credit vs cash) picks offense (UPRO/TQQQ + KMLM + EDV) or defense (VT, GLD/BTAL, or PSQ/EDV). Satellites: low-vol stock basket (LLY, NVO, COST, PGR/GE); tech vs KMLM toggle (TECL if tech leads, else hedges); EM sleeve flips 3x bull/bear on trend & inflation (RINF). RSI=short-term heat; 200d avg=trend.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: 39.6% annualized return vs SPY's 17.7%, Sharpe 1.68 vs 1.02, Calmar 2.00, with SPY beta ~0.63. Lower correlation to the S&P and disciplined risk controls, targeting tech-led growth with hedges and diversifiers.

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.
