About

Blend of bond ballast with an active sleeve that rotates into strong commodities when they trend up, or runs a tech/QQQ playbook (long, short, or Treasuries) when they don’t—guided by simple trend, momentum, and volatility checks.
NutHow it works
About half stays in short/mid Treasuries for stability. With the rest, it: - Checks if commodities are trending up (using DBC vs its recent averages). If yes, it owns the 4 strongest commodity/alt funds (gold, oil, silver, grains, etc.). - If not, it runs a tech/QQQ playbook that flips between long tech, short tech, or long Treasuries based on trend, “overbought/oversold” readings, and volatility.
CheckmarkValue prop
Risk-controlled blend: treasury ballast with an active sleeve rotating to commodities or tech. OOS Sharpe 1.38 vs SPY 1.30; Calmar 2.43; max drawdown 7.4% vs 18.8%—best-in-class risk-adjusted returns with notably lower downside.

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.
