About

A rules‑based, cash‑first portfolio that shifts daily among tech stocks, Treasuries, cash‑like T‑bills, commodities, gold, the U.S. dollar, and tactical hedges to avoid big losses and ride strong trends.
NutHow it works
Every day it checks trend and “heat.” Trend = price vs long-term averages (20–200+ days). Heat = RSI, a 0–100 “hot/cold” gauge; low = washed‑out, high = stretched. It rotates among: QQQ (big tech), SPY (S&P 500), TLT/IEF (Treasuries), SHV/BIL (T‑bills), DBC/DBO (commodities/oil), GLD (gold), XLP (consumer staples), UUP (U.S. dollar). In stress it hedges or holds cash; in strong uptrends it may briefly use amplified ETFs (e.g., QLD/TQQQ).
CheckmarkValue prop
Cash-first, rules-based rotation across tech, bonds, cash, commodities and hedges. In out-of-sample tests it limits drawdowns to ~2.9% vs SPY’s ~6.3%, while delivering strong risk-adjusted gains and trend participation.

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.
