About

Multi‑asset, low‑correlation strategy trading gold, oil/nat gas, bonds/credit, currencies and volatility using “heat‑meter” and trend signals. Volatility‑scaled sizing; daily rebalance. Uses some leveraged/short ETFs; higher risk.
NutHow it works
It watches non‑stock markets (gold, oil/natural gas, bonds/credit, currencies, and the VIX “fear” gauge). It looks for extremes (a 0–100 heat meter of recent ups vs downs) and short‑term trends. When signals appear, it tilts into gold, semis/tech or defensives, or shorts oil/gas or the yen, and adds VIX hedges. It sizes positions smaller when an asset is jumpy and rebalances daily, so it moves differently than the S&P 500.
CheckmarkValue prop
Diversified, low-correlation strategy across commodities, rates and FX. Out-of-sample: drawdown 1.36% vs SPY 2.53%, beta ~0.36, Calmar 5.85, Sharpe 1.61. Provides ballast and steadier risk-adjusted returns versus 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.
