About

Owns SPY by default, cuts risk to SHV when fear or losses spike, and tilts to QQQ when the trend is up and bonds are firm. Aims to capture most upside while softening big drawdowns.
NutHow it works
Default: hold SPY (broad US stocks). It monitors VIXY (a volatility/fear ETF) using RSI—a 0–100 “speedometer” of recent moves—plus recent S&P 500 drawdowns and day‑to‑day volatility. If fear or losses jump, it shifts part into SHV (cash‑like T‑bills). If the S&P 500 is in an uptrend (above its 200‑day avg) and long Treasuries (TLT) beat cash, it tilts toward QQQ (big‑tech). Changes are gradual, in steps.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: Sharpe 1.47 vs SPY 1.44; max drawdown 12.8% vs 18.8%; Calmar ~1.42. It preserves upside while cutting losses with SHV cash and a growth tilt—delivering a smoother path than 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.
