About

A daily, rules-based mix of tech (Nasdaq-100), gold, and long Treasuries with tactical hedges. It rides uptrends, buys sharp dips, rotates defensive when overheated, and can go long or short gold and bonds using leveraged ETFs.
NutHow it works
Your money is split across 4 rule-sets that are checked daily: - Tech growth: own Nasdaq-100 (often leveraged) when it’s trending or after sharp dips; rotate to staples/bonds when it’s too hot or weak. - Gold: switch between 2x long and 2x short based on trend and extremes. - Treasuries: flip among 3x long, 3x short, or T‑bills by trend/overheat signals. - Hedge: add volatility/inverse Nasdaq when stocks look frothy; otherwise sit in bonds.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: annualized return ~60% vs S&P 50%, Sharpe ~3.49 vs 2.38, drawdown ~5.6% vs 6.3%, Calmar ~10.8. More resilient growth with diversified tech/gold/bonds and tactical hedges.

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.
