About

A rule-based, mostly defensive playbook that rotates among cash/Treasuries, gold, the U.S. dollar, and defensive stock funds. It uses simple trend/volatility checks and can add or short growth funds in small doses. Goal: smoother ride and smaller drawdowns.
NutHow it works
Think of this as a toolbox of “safety mixes.” You pick a recipe for the market mood (up, down, choppy). Each recipe holds ETFs that tend to help in sell‑offs: T‑Bills/short Treasuries (cash‑like), long Treasuries, gold, the U.S. dollar, and defensive stock funds. Simple rules choose/size them: RSI (hot/cold score), moving‑average return (trend), standard deviation (bumpiness), and inverse‑vol weighting (give more to calmer funds). If stress spikes, it parks more in T‑Bills.
CheckmarkValue prop
Defensive, rule-based rotation across cash, Treasuries, gold, and USD. Out-of-sample performance shows smaller drawdowns, smoother volatility, and better risk-adjusted returns than the S&P 500—protecting capital with less downside risk.

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.
