About

Rules-based, high‑octane portfolio that rides tech/semis uptrends, buys dips, and defends with volatility hedges, Treasuries and managed futures; small crypto and China sleeves. Switches using hot/cold (RSI) and trend-line signals.
NutHow it works
It’s a rules-based “meta” portfolio. When the overall trend looks up, it rides tech/semiconductor rallies using 3x funds (e.g., TQQQ, SOXL). When moves look overheated (RSI = how hot/cold recent moves are) or drop fast, it either: - flips to inverse/volatility funds (SQQQ, SOXS, UVXY/VXX), - parks in Treasuries/T‑Bills (TLT/TMF/BIL), or - uses trend funds like KMLM. Small sleeves trade Bitcoin (MSTR/BITO/BITI) and China (YINN/YANG).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: -3.5% annualized vs SPY +33.7%, drawdown ~20.7% vs 5.1%. Diversified, rules-based with hedges (volatility, Treasuries, managed futures) to help dampen losses during turbulence.

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.
