About

A five-sleeve, all-weather mix: 3x US stocks, 3x long Treasuries, gold, crisis hedges (VIX futures & US dollar), plus a trend sleeve rotating among global stocks/commodities that falls back to Treasuries when weak. Uses leverage; high risk.
NutHow it works
Five sleeves with fixed weights: - 24% UPRO (3x S&P 500) for growth - 18% TMF (3x long US Treasuries) for rate drops/recessions - 19% GLD (gold) for inflation/crises - 21% split between VIXM (VIX “fear” futures) and UUP (strong US dollar), favoring the calmer one - 18% trend sleeve: buy country stock ETFs that beat IEF (7–10y Treasuries) over 1y, and commodity ETFs that beat IEF over 1m; otherwise hold IEF.
CheckmarkValue prop
All-weather, diversified sleeve strategy with positive out-of-sample risk-adjusted metrics (Sharpe 0.51; Calmar 0.24). Combines stocks, Treasuries, gold, volatility, USD, and trend to temper drawdowns and provide steadier, regime-spanning exposure versus pure 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.
