About

An adaptive, rules-based mix that buys the strongest mega‑caps in calm uptrends, but pivots to Treasuries, gold, defensive stocks and managed futures in rough or down markets, and adds inflation hedges (gold, TIPS, energy) when inflation heats up.
NutHow it works
It watches SPY (S&P 500) for trend and turbulence. In calm uptrends it puts 40–70% in the 3 strongest mega‑cap stocks. When weak or choppy, it shifts toward TLT (long Treasuries), GLD (gold), SHY (short‑term Treasuries) and a steady staples/healthcare basket. If TIPS (TIP) are rising, it leans into inflation hedges: GLD, TIP and some energy. In very rough patches it parks mostly in SHY. At times it adds DBMF (managed‑futures) for extra diversification.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: ~57.7% annualized return, Sharpe 3.81, Calmar 15.20; max draw ~3.8%. Compared with SPY's ~27.8% return and Sharpe 2.36, this strategy captures mega-cap upside in uptrends and hedges with Treasuries, gold, TIPs, and DBMF in downturns.

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.
