About

Rules-based, multi-asset strategy that shifts between offense (often leveraged tech/stock funds) and defense (gold, dollar, short Treasuries, defensive sectors, or hedges) using trend, momentum, and “heat” signals, plus an active Treasury sleeve and crash hedge. High risk.
NutHow it works
It splits money into sleeves that switch offense/defense using 3 dials: long‑term trend (200‑day average), short‑term “heat” (0–100; high=overheated, low=washed‑out), and 3–4‑month leaders. Offense: press tech/Nasdaq with leveraged funds and buy sharp dips. Defense: rotate to gold, the U.S. dollar, cash‑like Treasuries, defensive sectors, or hedges (inverse/volatility). A rates sleeve flips between long and short long‑term Treasuries. A small crash sleeve triggers when fear spikes.
CheckmarkValue prop
Dynamic, rules-based multi-asset strategy blending growth and defense with crash hedges. OOS: 18.2% vs SPY 22.3%, but lower beta (~0.72) and diversified risk sources, offering true portfolio diversification and downside guardrails in volatile regimes.

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.
