About

A rule-based, multi-asset hedge that flips among long/short Treasuries, tech exposure, and volatility hedges using simple trend and overbought/oversold signals. Offense in calm markets; defense when stocks overheat or bonds trend down.
NutHow it works
It watches bonds and the Nasdaq using two gauges: trend (price vs moving average) and a hot/cold meter (RSI: >70–80 = overheated, <30 = washed‑out). • Bonds uptrend → own long‑bond funds (TLT/TMF); downtrend → inverse bond (TMV); extremes → T‑Bills (SHV) or BND. • Stocks overheated → buy volatility hedges (VIXY/UVXY). Oversold → buy tech (XLK/TECL/TQQQ). Calm → SVXY/VTI; weakness → short SPY/QQQ (SH/PSQ).
CheckmarkValue prop
Risk-controlled, diversified rule-based strategy: lower drawdown (14.6% vs 18.8% for SPY), Calmar 1.02, and hedges across bonds, volatility, and tech. Steadier, better risk-adjusted potential than the S&P 500 for risk-conscious investors.

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.
