About

An all‑weather, rules‑based portfolio. It splits across stocks, bonds, gold/commodities/US dollar, and a volatility hedge. It rides trends with leveraged funds in good times and pivots to gold, dollar, bonds, or short/volatility hedges when markets stress.
NutHow it works
Your money is split across 5 sleeves: stocks, a volatility hedge, trend/momentum, “fiat alternatives” (gold/commodities/US dollar), and interest‑rate trades. Each sleeve switches between funds using simple signals: trend (price vs average), momentum, overbought/oversold (RSI, a 0–100 heat gauge), and recent drops. It leans into strength (often 3x funds) and shifts to gold, dollar, bonds, or shorts when stress rises. Key funds: SPY=S&P 500, QQQ=Nasdaq‑100; UPRO/SPXL/TQQQ=3x stock; SQQQ/SDS/PSQ/SH=shorts; TLT=long Treasuries; TMF/TMV=3x long/short Treasuries; GLD=gold; DBC=commodities; UUP/USDU=US dollar; UVXY=volatility; BTAL=defensive. Uses leveraged/inverse ETFs; high 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.
