About

A K‑1‑free, all‑weather, tech‑tilted strategy that rotates daily among stocks, bonds, and commodities. It uses leverage in uptrends and flips to hedges/shorts in selloffs, aiming to protect in crashes and beat the S&P 500 over time.
NutHow it works
It splits money into three sleeves and checks markets daily. - Stocks: rides big tech uptrends (TQQQ/QQQ/JEPQ) but flips to defense or shorts (PSQ/SQQQ/SOXS) if prices look overheated or fall fast. - Bonds/rates: buys long Treasuries when rates fall (TMF), hedges or shorts them (TMV/USDU) when rates rise. - Commodities: owns recent winners (often PDBC or gold miners). Volatility spikes trigger extra “crash protection.”
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~34.2% annualized return vs SPY ~23.5%, with only ~9.1% drawdown vs ~18.8% for the S&P. Lower beta (~0.86) and Calmar ~3.75 signal resilient, risk-adjusted upside with crash protection and tech tilt.

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.
