About

Rules-based, Dragon-style all‑weather portfolio. It presses into leveraged U.S. stocks when trends are strong, and into Treasuries, gold, the U.S. dollar, and volatility hedges when stress appears—aiming to work in both booms and busts.
NutHow it works
It spreads money across five buckets: growth stocks, bonds, gold/commodities, the U.S. dollar, and crash insurance. Simple rules watch trends (price vs its average), heat (a 0–100 hot/cold score), and recent winners. When growth is healthy and rates fall, it leans into stock ETFs (sometimes 3×). When markets wobble or rates rise, it shifts to Treasuries, gold, the dollar, and volatility/inverse ETFs. It updates as signals change.
CheckmarkValue prop

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.
