About

A tactical “all‑weather” mix. Buys stocks and bonds when trends are healthy, rotates to gold/commodities/US dollar and VIX-based hedges when markets overheat or drop. Uses simple trend, momentum, and “hot/cold” (RSI) checks. Includes leveraged ETFs.
NutHow it works
It spreads money across 5 buckets: growth stocks, bonds, gold/commodities/US dollar, a trend sleeve, and crash protection (VIX funds). It dials risk up when prices are trending higher and calm, and dials risk down when markets look “hot” or are falling. “RSI” here is just a quick hot/cold meter. Drawdowns and trends guide shifts. Leverage is used in calm uptrends; hedges kick in during stress.
CheckmarkValue prop
All-weather strategy beats the S&P 500 out-of-sample with higher risk-adjusted returns, stronger growth, and lower drawdowns: Sharpe 1.72 vs 1.41, 29.46% vs 22.42%, 13.25% vs 18.76%, thanks to diversified sleeves and hedges.

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.
