About

Macro first (commodities vs Treasuries) to pick inflation or deflation. Then risk‑on/off from sector and momentum signals. It rotates into growth in inflationary risk‑on, shifts to commodities/defensives and hedges in stagflation, and favors Treasuries/defensives in deflationary stress.
NutHow it works
1) Macro: inflation or deflation? It compares trends in commodity metals (DBB) vs long US bonds (TLT). 2) Risk: inside that regime, risk‑on or risk‑off? It checks who’s winning (cyclicals vs defensives like XLB vs XLU, VNQ vs DBC) and a hot/cold gauge (RSI 0–100; >70 hot, <30 cold). 3) It then buys baskets that fit the scene, adding VIX and inverse‑ETF hedges when too hot. Sizes by inverse‑vol; rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Macro-regime rotation with risk-on/off hedges offers ~7% out-of-sample annualized return, Sharpe ~0.95, Calmar ~2.14, and max drawdown ~3.26% vs S&P’s ~5.07%. Lower drawdowns, steadier risk‑adjusted gains, with inflation/deflation protection.

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.
