About

Multi‑sleeve, daily‑rebalanced strategy trading gold, long Treasuries, Nasdaq‑tilted stocks, emerging markets, oil and natural gas. It follows trends and extreme moves, flipping between long, inverse or cash, and adds VIX hedges using leveraged ETFs.
NutHow it works
It splits money into sleeves: gold; long U.S. Treasuries; U.S. stocks (Nasdaq‑100 tilt); emerging markets; oil and natural gas; plus a hedge sleeve. Each sleeve uses two cues: trend (price vs its average) and a quick‑move gauge (very high = overheated, very low = washed‑out). It buys in uptrends; in downtrends it may switch to funds that rise when prices fall or to T‑bills. When stocks look overheated it adds VIX‑linked hedges. It mostly uses 2x/3x ETFs and rebalances daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~37.88% annualized return vs SPY ~31.29%, Calmar ~2.74, beta ~0.70. Diversified, trend-driven sleeves with VIX hedges, aiming for higher growth with lower market exposure than 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.
