About

Aggressive, rules-based mix of U.S. stocks, sectors, and commodities. It chases recent winners, sizes by recent calmness, and uses a gold/VIX sleeve for stress. Heavy use of leveraged ETFs—expect large ups and downs.
NutHow it works
Five sleeves with fixed target weights. - Core: a small, leveraged S&P 500 stake. - Volatility hedge: split between gold and a VIX fund; the calmer one over the last month gets more weight. - Sector momentum: hold the 2 strongest sectors over ~200 days (using leveraged ETFs). - Large‑cap value tilt: spread across value/quality U.S. stock funds, giving more to the least volatile over ~1 month. - Commodity momentum: for agri, metals, oil, uranium, timber, gold—own it only if its last 6 weeks beat cash; else sit in cash.
CheckmarkValue prop
Adaptive momentum strategy with superior out-of-sample results vs the S&P 500. OOS annualized return 32.4% vs 21.97%; OOS Sharpe 1.79 vs ~1.38; Calmar 1.96; max drawdown 16.5% vs 18.8%. Higher upside with better downside control.

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.
