About

A modern, K‑1‑free All Weather strategy with a volatility “on/off” switch. In calm uptrends it leans into growth (often with leverage). When fear spikes or rates rise, it pivots to T‑bills, USD, inverse bonds, or volatility hedges to limit damage.
NutHow it works
It keeps a diversified base (stocks, bonds, gold/commodities) and watches two gauges every day: trend and fear (the VIX). • Calm + uptrend ⇒ go on offense with growth (often leveraged tech/semis). • Fear spike or overheating ⇒ flip to defense (T‑bills/short bonds, USD, or hedges like UVXY/inverse tech). • Bonds flip: long bonds when rates fall; USD/inverse‑bonds when rates rise.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample risk management yields near‑S&P upside (22.3% vs 22.9%) with lower drawdowns (15.6% vs 18.8%), low beta (~0.18), and strong Calmar/Sharpe (1.43/1.22) for steadier growth.

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.
