About

A daily, regime-switching macro strategy: let miners lead to choose inflation vs disinflation playbooks, then use momentum and overbought/oversold checks to tilt across commodities, bonds, currencies, sectors, and volatility hedges.
NutHow it works
First it asks: are metals/miners trending up? If yes, it assumes an inflation backdrop and uses an “inflation” playbook (energy, oil, broad commodities, stronger USD vs euro/yen), adding hedges when stocks look overheated. If not, it uses a “disinflation” playbook (Treasuries, defensives, quality tech; often shorts oil/nat‑gas/EM). Simple trend and “hot/cold” checks (EMA/RSI) fine‑tune entries, with special rules for bonds and natural gas. Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~22.96% return, ~9.37% max drawdown (Calmar ~2.45) vs SPY 14.7% drawdown; beta ~0.80 = less market risk with similar upside—strong, risk-adjusted outperformance vs the 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.
