About

A daily, rules‑based rotation that buys tech/semis on dips, steps aside to T‑bills or bond/managed‑futures when risk rises, and uses volatility funds as hedges when markets look overheated. Allocates to the two sleeves with the strongest recent results. High risk.
NutHow it works
It’s a daily “traffic‑light” system that switches between offense, defense, and hedges. - Offense: buy strong or deeply sold‑off tech/semis (often using leveraged funds) for quick rebounds. - Defense: park in T‑bills, bond trades, or managed futures (KMLM) when stocks look weak. - Hedges: use volatility funds when markets look overheated. It always funds the 2 sleeves that performed best lately.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: higher risk-adjusted return than SPY—annualized return ~41% vs ~20%, Sharpe ~0.99 vs ~0.98, Calmar ~1.71. Dynamic hedging targets bigger upside; drawdowns ~24% vs ~16.6%.

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.
