About

Adaptive, K‑1‑free portfolio that rotates among stocks, bonds, commodities, and the U.S. dollar using simple trend/volatility signals; uses leverage and hedges to join uptrends and defend in stress, aiming to beat the S&P 500 over time.
NutHow it works
Goal: work in any economy, avoid big crashes. 1) If volatility runs hot (VIXY RSI = a heat gauge), go to Crash Protection: if Nasdaq is above its 25‑day trend, own a 2x S&P or 2x Nasdaq fund; else sit in T‑bills/short‑term bonds. 2) Otherwise hold 30% stocks, 55% bonds, 15% commodities. Using bond vs T‑bill returns and Treasury trend, it picks: leveraged growth stocks in uptrends; defensive/short + strong USD when rates rise; 2x stocks when rates fall; bonds and commodities adjust similarly.
CheckmarkValue prop

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.
