About

A rules-based, multi-asset “weather station” that rotates among leveraged stocks, Treasuries, gold, the U.S. dollar, commodities, and volatility hedges based on stock trends, interest rates, and fear gauges to pursue growth with controlled drawdowns.
NutHow it works
It’s an autopilot that asks: Are stocks calm or shaky? Are interest rates rising or falling? Is fear spiking? - If stocks are calm and trending up, it uses 3x stock ETFs (Nasdaq/Tech/S&P). - If rates rise or stocks wobble, it shifts to staples/energy/quality, the U.S. dollar, or even short ETFs. - If rates fall, it owns long Treasuries (often 3x). - When markets get overheated or fear jumps, it adds a volatility hedge (UVXY) or moves to cash-like bonds.

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.
