About

An “all‑weather” portfolio inspired by the Dragon idea. It balances growth with crash protection, rotating among stocks, bonds, gold, commodities, dollar and VIX hedges using simple trend and overheat/cool‑off checks to aim for resilience in booms and busts.
NutHow it works
We split your money into five buckets: growth stocks, bonds, trend/momentum, “fiat alternatives” (gold, commodities, US dollar), and crash hedges. We watch trend lines (moving averages) and short‑term “heat meters” (RSI) to switch between offense (3x stock funds) and defense (bonds, gold, dollar, volatility). Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~30% annual return vs ~22% for the S&P; Sharpe ~1.80 vs ~1.35; drawdown ~13% vs ~19%; beta ~0.76; Calmar ~2.27. Diversified, trend-driven strategy aims for higher risk-adjusted growth and 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.
