About

A daily, equal-slice trend strategy across stocks, gold, commodities, bonds, and real estate. When an asset’s price is above its ~4‑month average, it buys the growth ETF (often leveraged); otherwise it parks that slice in 7–10Y Treasuries (IEF) for defense.
NutHow it works
Split the portfolio into 7 equal slices: US large stocks, tech (Nasdaq-100), small caps, gold, commodities, long-term Treasuries, and real estate. Each day, if a slice’s price is above its ~4‑month average, hold its risk ETF (some are leveraged). If not, hold 7–10Y Treasuries (IEF).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: 23.7% annualized return vs 21.3% for the S&P, max drawdown 13.7% vs 18.8%, and Calmar ~1.73. A diversified, daily-trend, multi-asset strategy aims for higher growth with better downside protection 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.
