About

A daily-rebalanced, multi-theme, rule-driven portfolio that blends leverage tech bets, bond momentum, volatility hedges, and a bold KMLM-driven tech sleeve to pursue higher risk-adjusted returns while managing risk through hedges.
NutHow it works
A layman-friendly guide: - What the goal is: to maximize risk-adjusted returns by constantly reallocating across a family of ETFs based on short-term market signals. - How it thinks: it looks for momentum (which assets have been going up recently), checks how strong they are relative to other assets, and watches volatility to avoid getting blindsided by big market moves. - The five big groups (themes): 1) TINA: a flexible, mixed-bag group that can lean into tech bets (like QQQ and its levered cousins) or move into hedges and cash when tech looks weak. 2) TMF Momentum: focuses on long Treasuries with levered bets, trying to ride bond-market trends when they look favorable. 3) TMV Momentum: a near-opposite take on bonds, tilting exposure based on rate-move signals. 4) Four Corners | No Leverage: a risk-management sleeve that blends volatility hedges and anti-beta ideas to reduce risk while keeping some upside. 5) The Holy Grail with 20D KMLM: a bold, high-conviction sleeve that uses a benchmark (KMLM) and triggers for very leveraged tech bets (TQQQ, TECL, SOXL) with hedges (SQQQ) when signals align. 6) 2007 | EM: an emerging-markets-focused group using momentum/RSI tests to tilt into or away from EM assets. - How it decides what to own and how much: each group has a set of rules that pick one or several ETFs and assign a weight to them. Rules combine price momentum, how a price compares to moving averages, RSI-like strength indicators, and sometimes price relative to KMLM. The total portfolio is the sum of all group weights (should total 100%). Some rules push toward very heavy bets (3x leverage) if conditions look great; others push toward hedges or cash during riskier times. - How often it changes: daily, rebalancing all groups and the combined portfolio based on the latest signals. - What to expect in practice: when markets look healthy and tech leads, you may see big bets on levered tech ETFs; when volatility spikes, hedges and cash may dominate; the strategy can swing between aggressive growth and defensive protection depending on what the signals say. - Important caveat: levered bets magnify both gains and losses; this strategy requires a tolerance for frequent, sometimes large drawdowns and relies on price signals that may not always predict moves accurately.

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.
