About

An all‑weather, Dragon‑style strategy that balances growth, bonds, real assets and cash/dollar with a built‑in crash hedge. It rotates using trend, momentum and RSI—scaling into 3x equities in strength and shifting to Treasuries/dollar/defensives or shorts in stress.
NutHow it works
Splits money into five sleeves: growth stocks, bonds, real assets (gold/commodities), the U.S. dollar, and a crash hedge. Uses 3x stock funds (TQQQ/TECL/UPRO), long Treasuries (TLT/TMF), gold/commodities (GLD/DBC), dollar funds (UUP/USDU) and a vol hedge (UVXY). Rules use trend (price vs 200‑day avg), 4‑mo momentum, and RSI (0–100 “heat”) to buy dips or add hedges. In booms it leans tech; in stress it favors Treasuries/dollar/defensive or short funds. Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this all-weather strategy achieves 32% annualized return vs 21.6% for the S&P, with higher Sharpe (1.84 vs 1.35), lower drawdown (14.5% vs 18.8%), and beta ~0.82—plus built-in crash hedges for resilience.

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.
