About

A rules‑based, medium‑aggressive portfolio: ~50% switches between Nasdaq leverage/SPY/defensive when markets are calm or choppy; ~25% seeks income via diversified bonds with risk controls; ~25% preserves capital with gold and a trend‑following safety mix.
NutHow it works
- Split into three sleeves: Growth (~50%), Yield (~25%), Preservation (~25%). - Growth presses when the market is calm or tech is deeply oversold (QLD/SPY). If choppy, it shifts to a defensive basket (cash‑like Treasuries, gold, staples, hedge fund proxy). - Yield mixes Treasuries and corporate bonds. It sizes positions by recent steadiness (more in calmer bonds) and rotates toward recent winners (incl. gold or the US dollar) when appropriate. - Preservation keeps a steady gold stake and a small trend model that picks the strongest of Treasuries, gold, dollar, commodities, cash, or stocks. - Signals use simple ideas: recent choppiness, short‑term “oversold” readings, and 3–4 month momentum.

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.
