About

An all‑weather, rule‑based portfolio. It rotates among stocks, bonds, gold/commodities, the US dollar, and volatility hedges. When trends are strong it uses leveraged stock funds; when stress or rising rates hit, it shifts to cash, staples, gold, dollar, or volatility.
NutHow it works
It splits money into 5 buckets: stocks, bonds, gold/commodities/dollar, volatility hedges, and cash. It checks simple gauges: trend (price vs recent average), momentum (recent returns), “too hot/too cold” (RSI), and choppiness (volatility/drawdown). If trends are strong and calm, it owns aggressive stock funds; if rates rise, it may short long‑bonds or favor the US dollar; if stress spikes, it buys volatility or moves to gold/staples/cash. Uses leveraged/VIX funds tactically.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: Sharpe 1.63 vs SPY 1.43; Calmar 1.87; max drawdown 10.9% vs 18.8%. All-weather, rule-based mix that adapts to rates, inflation and volatility—delivering better risk-adjusted returns with less downside than the S&P 500.

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.
