About

Daily crypto trend strategy: hold Bitcoin only when its price is above both its 50‑day and 15‑day EMAs; otherwise sit in Tether (a USD‑pegged stablecoin).
NutHow it works
Each day: - If Bitcoin’s price is below its 50‑day exponential moving average (EMA), move to Tether (a cash‑like USD stablecoin). - Otherwise, if price is above its 15‑day EMA, hold Bitcoin. - If not, hold Tether. Why these? BTC for upside; Tether to park in dollars when the trend is weak.
CheckmarkValue prop
Crypto-trend strategy: only long BTC in uptrends, otherwise cash (USDT). In out-of-sample tests it shows positive alpha and ~10% annualized return with risk controls, offering diversification and potential downside protection alongside the 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.
