About

A rules‑based “Dragon” portfolio that blends stocks, gold, managed‑futures‑style trend trades, a long‑volatility crash hedge, and tactical Treasury bets to aim for steady results in booms and busts, sometimes using leveraged and inverse ETFs.
NutHow it works
It splits your money into five parts that balance each other. 1) Stocks: leans into tech/semis in clear uptrends, or shifts to steadier funds when weak. 2) Trend‑followers: ride winners and short losers in oil, gas, metals, gold, the US dollar, and global stocks. 3) Long‑volatility: a crash‑protection sleeve (e.g., UVXY), plus gold, T‑bills, and long/short equity funds in deep selloffs. 4) Gold: a core store of value. 5) Treasuries: tactically bet for/against long‑term rates (TMF/TMV). Signals are simple “trend” and “hot/cold” gauges; it trades only when they flip.

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.
