About

A daily, rules‑based “traffic light” system. It compares which markets have done better recently to flip between defensive or aggressive and between value/commodities or tech/growth. It then buys ETF baskets matched to that regime, with some hedges.
NutHow it works
Think of three traffic lights, checked daily. 1) Long‑term mood: if European corporate bonds lag safe U.S. Treasuries, go defensive; otherwise, be more aggressive. 2) Short‑term mood: if low‑vol stocks beat the S&P lately, stay cautious; otherwise, risk‑on. 3) Style: if small “growth” trails “value,” favor commodities/value; else favor tech/growth and long‑term bonds. Each branch buys a preset ETF basket.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this dynamic, multi-asset regime strategy delivers higher risk-adjusted returns (oos Sharpe 1.30 vs 1.09) with far lower drawdown (4.5% vs 18.8%) and Calmar 3.41—offering smoother growth versus 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.
