About

A rules-based, liquid-ETF strategy. First handles extremes (selloffs or overheated sectors). Then a 2x2 test—growth vs utilities and credit vs cash—chooses Bull, Hedge, or Bear mixes to seek higher return per unit of risk and avoid big drawdowns.
NutHow it works
Step 1: Quick extremes. If NASDAQ-100 (QQQ) is very weak, buy a short-term bounce (TQQQ, VGT, IEF). If Tech or Consumer stocks run too hot, park in defense (TMF, VXX, Utilities/Staples). Step 2: Core 2x2. Compare growth vs Utilities (QQQ vs VPU) and credit vs cash (CORP vs BIL). The 4 outcomes map to Bull, Hedge, or Bear mixes across stocks, bonds, gold, yield, and mild shorts. Uses liquid ETFs, aims for steadier returns.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this rules-based strategy beats the S&P 500 on risk-adjusted performance: annualized return ~24.7% vs 20.9%, max drawdown ~13.7% vs 18.8%, Calmar ~1.80, Sharpe ~1.13, beta ~0.83 - more upside with less downside.

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.
