About

A rules-driven, “all‑weather” portfolio inspired by the Dragon Portfolio. It balances growth, trend, gold, bond bets, and crash protection. Uses ETFs (some leveraged) and shifts exposure as conditions change to aim for gains in booms and resilience in busts.
NutHow it works
It splits your money into five sleeves: growth stocks; trend-followers (stocks, commodities, managed futures); gold; crash hedges; and interest‑rate bets. It watches three things: trend (price vs its average), how stretched moves look (overbought/oversold), and recent drops. When calm/up, it leans into stocks and trends (sometimes with leverage). When falling or jumpy, it pivots to gold, Treasuries, the U.S. dollar, and volatility funds—and can go short.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this all-weather, rules-based strategy delivers higher risk-adjusted returns (Sharpe 1.73 vs 1.35), smaller drawdowns (11.5% vs 18.8%), and similar upside (20.3% vs 21.4%), with diversified hedges and adaptive sleeves.

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.
