About

A rules-based, multi-asset strategy that chases strong stock trends with leveraged ETFs, shifts to Treasuries, dollar, gold and staples when risks rise, and occasionally buys volatility (UVXY/VIXM) as protection. Uses “overheated/oversold” and trend signals to switch.
NutHow it works
It’s a rulebook that watches whether stocks are trending, overheated, or washed out. When trends are steady and calm, it rides them with leveraged index funds. If prices sprint too fast, it buys “fear” (volatility) as protection. In selloffs, it either buys the dip or moves to safer assets like Treasuries, the U.S. dollar, gold, and defensive stocks. It repeats this across several sleeves and picks what fits the current market.

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.
