About

A daily, rules-driven mix of stocks, bonds, and a large gold sleeve. It buys dips, trims or shorts when moves look stretched, and often parks in T‑bills. Relies on RSI and trend filters with volatility circuit-breakers. Uses some leveraged ETFs.
NutHow it works
Daily, rules-based rotation: - Stocks: if weak but in uptrend, buy SPY/QQQ (sometimes 2–3x versions); if overheated, move to T‑bills (BIL/SHV/SHY) or volatility hedges (VIXY/UVXY); below trend, favor defensives (XLP/XLU) or bonds. - Gold: buy GLD/miners (GDX, UGL/NUGT) on dips; short gold (GLL/JDST/DUST) when overbought; step aside if panic. - Bonds: ride momentum in long Treasuries (TLT/TMF/TMV). RSI = 0–100 “speed” gauge; moving average = trend line.
CheckmarkValue prop
Superior risk-adjusted edge vs the S&P: OOS Sharpe 2.75 vs 2.43, Calmar 7.23, and max drawdown 3.38% vs 5.07%, delivering 24.4% OOS annualized return with smarter risk controls, hedges, and tactical diversification.

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.
