About

A rules-based, mostly S&P‑focused portfolio that adds tech, international, bonds, gold, dollar, and managed futures. It owns stocks when trends are up and volatility is calm, and rotates to cash/Treasuries/gold/volatility hedges to limit drawdowns. Uses limited leverage.
NutHow it works
The portfolio is split into 5 sleeves: NTSX (S&P 500+bonds), XLK (US tech), VEA (international stocks), a tactical Homebase, and managed futures (DBMF). Each sleeve uses simple trend/volatility checks: if the asset is rising and markets are calm, stay invested; if not, shift to safer spots (T‑bills BIL, staples XLP) or hedges (Treasuries TLT/TMF, gold IAU, dollar UUP, volatility funds). Homebase only owns leveraged stock ETFs (TQQQ/SPXL/UPRO/UDOW) in strong uptrends; otherwise it moves to defenses. Managed futures add diversification.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: ~38.6% annualized returns with Sharpe ~1.44 and Calmar ~1.93, beating SPY on risk-adjusted grounds. A diversified, trend-following portfolio across tech, intl, bonds, gold and managed futures with disciplined risk controls.

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.
