About

A rules‑driven, all‑weather strategy that rides strong uptrends with leveraged stock ETFs, buys tech dips, and quickly pivots to Treasuries, USD, gold/commodities, or volatility/short hedges when markets overheat or weaken. Event‑driven, no set rebalance.
NutHow it works
The portfolio is split into sleeves: crash insurance, trend/momentum, growth, interest‑rate timing, and a “beta vs bonds vs defensive” switch. It reads three simple dials: trend (price above/below its average), momentum (best 3–4‑month return), and heat (RSI: 0–100; high=hot, low=cold). When trends are strong it holds leveraged stock ETFs (e.g., TQQQ=3x Nasdaq; SPXL/UPRO=3x S&P; TECL/SOXL=3x tech/semis). If markets overheat or fall, it shifts to Treasuries (TLT/TMF), the US dollar (UUP/USDU), gold/commodities (GLD/DBC), defensive funds (BTAL), or hedges/shorts (SQQQ, SDS) and sometimes buys volatility (UVXY) as crash insurance. No calendar rebalance—rules trigger changes, with a small band to avoid overtrading.
CheckmarkValue prop
Multi-sleeve, all-weather strategy that leverages uptrends and hedges heat/stress. Diversifies stocks, bonds, USD, gold/commodities, and volatility to reduce regime risk and offer competitive risk-adjusted results vs. the S&P (out-of-sample Sharpe ~1.04).

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.
