About

A rules‑driven global macro strategy. If fear rises, it moves into VIX hedges. If calm, dozens of quick strength tests guide long/short bets across USD/EUR, USD/JPY, tech vs volatility, and gold, oil, and bitcoin—often using leveraged ETFs with 66/34 splits.
NutHow it works
1) Checks market “fear” (VIX funds and a few risk ETFs). If fear is high, it buys volatility hedges (like VIXY/VIXM). 2) If calm, it runs many quick strength tests between bond/credit ETFs. Those tests decide which side to take in pairs: USD vs euro/yen, tech stocks vs volatility, and long vs short gold, oil, and bitcoin. Often split 66%/34% across two legs.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this global macro strategy shows better downside protection and risk-adjusted returns than the S&P 500 by switching to volatility hedges in stress and diversifying across currencies, commodities, and crypto in calm markets.

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.
