About

An “all‑weather” Dragon-style portfolio that balances stocks, long Treasuries, gold/commodities, cash/dollar, and volatility hedges. It adds risk in strong uptrends and shifts to Treasuries, gold, the dollar, or VIX hedges when markets turn.
NutHow it works
Split into 5 buckets: growth stocks, Treasury bonds, gold/commodities, cash/U.S. dollar, and volatility insurance. Rules watch trend (price vs its average), recent drops, and “overbought/oversold” signals. In calm uptrends it leans into stocks (sometimes with 3x funds). When stress hits or rates rise, it shifts toward Treasuries, gold, the dollar, or VIX funds, and can add defensives or shorts.

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.
