About

Rules‑based and tactical: ride SPY in uptrends; if stocks get very “hot,” pre‑hedge with VIXY plus low‑risk funds. Sector and Treasury momentum sleeves layer in when trends are favorable. Uses inverse‑vol sizing; signal‑driven, not calendar‑driven.
NutHow it works
Core: own SPY (S&P 500) when it’s above its 200‑day average. If not, hold a defensive mix (T‑Bills, staples, gold or tech). When stocks look very “hot” short‑term (RSI = a heat gauge; high = overbought), rotate into a hedge: mostly VIXY (a volatility fund that jumps in sell‑offs) plus low‑risk funds (SPLV, BTAL), sized by inverse volatility. Adds sector and Treasury momentum sleeves. Trades on signals, not a schedule.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: max drawdown ~13% vs SPY ~18.8%; 16.5% annualized return with Calmar ~1.26. Hedge-driven risk control and sector/bond sleeves seek to preserve capital and still capture upside, unlike a pure SPY bet.

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.
