About

A daily, rules‑based, multi‑asset portfolio: rides tech and Treasury trends, adds volatility hedges when markets look overheated, and parks in T‑bills or uses inverse ETFs in selloffs. Uses leveraged ETFs; heavy risk controls and frequent rebalancing.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks simple signals: trend (price vs 200‑day average), overbought/oversold (RSI), and volatility (VIX). In strong uptrends it owns growth/tech (QQQ/TQQQ, TECL, SOXL). When risk rises it rotates to Treasuries (TLT/TMF), cash‑like T‑bills (BIL/SHV), or hedges/shorts (PSQ, SH, SPXU) and sometimes buys VIX ETFs (UVXY/VIXY) as insurance. Separate sleeves trade energy/oil/natural‑gas and gold/commodities on momentum. Positions rebalance daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Rule-based, daily-rotating strategy across tech, bonds, and hedges. Uses trend signals, volatility hedges, and cash allocations to dampen drawdowns and pursue steadier, risk-adjusted returns 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.
