About

An all‑weather, Dragon‑inspired strategy. It spreads risk across stocks, bonds, gold/commodities, the U.S. dollar, and volatility hedges. It follows trends, buys dips selectively, and adds protection when markets get jumpy. Uses small, tactical leverage.
NutHow it works
Blends five sleeves: growth stocks, long‑term Treasuries, gold/commodities, U.S. dollar/cash, and “long‑volatility” hedges. Simple rules check trend (price vs average), momentum (recent winners), overbought/oversold (heat gauge), and big drops. It leans into uptrends; when stress rises, it shifts to gold, dollar, bonds, and VIX‑linked hedges.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: 24.4% annual return vs SPY 22.5%, Sharpe ~1.71 vs 1.41, Calmar ~1.95, max drawdown 12.5% vs SPY 18.8%. Diversified, trend-following, levered strategy for steadier growth with lower risk than 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.
