About

A daily, rules‑based portfolio that rotates among aggressive US stock funds (incl. leveraged), Berkshire Hathaway, mega‑caps, oil and T‑Bills. It reacts to tech selloffs and volatility spikes, and uses bond strength to decide when to go defensive.
NutHow it works
It’s a daily rule set that flips between offense and defense based on short‑term trend and stress. - If the S&P 500 looks soft short‑term, split across the strongest S&P/Nasdaq funds plus Berkshire. - If trend is OK: if Berkshire looks weak → hold oil; if tech just plunged → buy mega‑caps for a bounce (or on a huge spike day, use volatility funds); otherwise: if Nasdaq is trending → mega‑caps; if bonds look shaky → oil+T‑Bills; if stocks beat bonds → mega‑caps; else oil+cash. Funds used: SPY/QQQ (big US stocks), SPXL/TQQQ (3x), OEF (mega‑caps), BRK/B (Berkshire), USO/OILK (oil), BIL (T‑Bills), VIXY/VIXM (volatility).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return ~19.7% vs SPY ~8.4%, and stronger risk-adjusted metrics (Sharpe ~1.04 vs 0.80; Calmar ~3.40). A dynamic, rules-based strategy that captures upside while using hedges to manage drawdowns.

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.
