About

Own Ackman-like stocks when shipping prices rise or stocks are deeply oversold; otherwise, hedge or trade using leveraged long/short NASDAQ (and sometimes S&P) or sit in T‑Bills, guided by simple trend/strength signals.
NutHow it works
It holds a basket mirroring Bill Ackman’s holdings (Hilton, Chipotle, Burger King’s owner, Google, Howard Hughes, Canadian Pacific, Brookfield, Nike) when shipping prices trend up or the market looks washed out. Otherwise it switches to a hedge: it toggles between bullish NASDAQ (TQQQ), bearish NASDAQ/S&P (SQQQ/PSQ, SPXS/SPXU), or T‑Bills (BIL), using simple recent‑strength and trend checks with bond funds (TLT, IEF, BND).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: 30.4% annualized return vs SPY 17.1%; Sharpe 1.17 vs 0.97; drawdown 12.8% vs 18.8%; Calmar 2.38; plus positive alpha. Higher risk-adjusted upside with less downside than 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.
