About

A tactical, rules-driven mix that leans into growth in healthy uptrends, rotates to gold/dollar/treasuries/defensives or short exposure when markets or rates turn, and keeps a small volatility hedge. Signals: trend, RSI, drawdown, momentum.
NutHow it works
Rules-based, multi-asset portfolio split across six sleeves. - Offense in uptrends with tech‑tilted 3x funds (e.g., TQQQ/UPRO/TECL). - Defense when markets or rates worsen using gold (GLD), U.S. dollar (UUP), Treasuries (TLT/TMF), utilities/defensive (UTSL/BTAL), or inverse ETFs (SDS/SQQQ). - A small “crash airbag” buys volatility (UVXY/VIXM) when prices overheat. Signals: trend (price vs average), heat (RSI=0–100), drawdowns, and 4‑month momentum. It shifts only when these rules flip.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this rules-based, multi-sleeve strategy delivers positive alpha and solid risk-adjusted returns (Sharpe ~1.04) with built-in hedges (gold, USD, Treasuries, volatility) and regime switching for resilience versus a pure S&P bet.

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.
