About

Mostly U.S. stocks with a volatility off‑switch. When calm, it holds VTI plus some 2x S&P; in volatility spikes it moves to T‑bills. A small sleeve flips between Berkshire and 2x Bitcoin on crypto dips, plus a steady growth ETF.
NutHow it works
Uses a simple “heat” gauge (10‑day RSI, 0–100). 90%: If VIXY (volatility ETF) heat <73, hold VTI (total U.S. stocks) + SPUU (2x S&P 500). If ≥73, park that 90% in BIL (T‑bills). 5%: If BITO (Bitcoin futures) heat >27, hold BRK.B (Berkshire); else BITX (2x Bitcoin) for dip‑buys. 5%: Always VUG (U.S. growth).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: 21.23% annualized return vs SPY 19.47%, with volatility-driven shifts to Treasuries during spikes. Calmar ~0.83 and positive alpha offer higher upside with managed downside vs S&P 500.

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.
