About

An adaptive, rules‑based portfolio that watches fear (VIX) and bond trends to switch between offense (tech/Nasdaq, semis) and defense (T‑Bills, Treasuries, USD, commodities, hedges), with a calm‑market income tilt (JEPI). K‑1 free.
NutHow it works
Step 1: Is fear spiking? If yes, move to a defense mix (T‑Bills, strong USD, commodities, defensive/short funds) and use quick, rules‑based signals on Nasdaq/semis to hedge or play rebounds. Step 2: If no spike, pick among: (a) a calm “sideways” blend (quality stocks, income via JEPI, low‑vol bonds), (b) a risk‑on/off allocator guided by bond trends and interest‑rate direction, and (c) a trend/mean‑reversion sleeve that flips between owning or shorting Nasdaq (TQQQ/QLD/PSQ/SQQQ) using simple trend and “hot/cold” checks. It only rebalances when weights drift about 4%.
CheckmarkValue prop
Fear-aware, rules-based multi-asset strategy that shifts to defense in stress and to growth in rallies. In out-of-sample tests it shows higher risk-adjusted returns (oos Sharpe 1.60, Calmar 1.52) with smaller drawdowns (~12% vs ~19%), K-1 free.

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.
