About

A daily 4‑sleeve portfolio that tilts between defense (staples, bonds, Treasuries, T‑Bills) and offense (tech, EM) using short‑term “heat” scores (RSI) and trend. It auto‑adds hedges (VIX funds, market‑neutral) or stands aside when volatility spikes.
NutHow it works
Four sleeves, rebalanced daily, using a 0–100 “heat” score (RSI: high=hot, low=cold) and trend. 42% buys the colder of Consumer Staples (XLP) or a bond fund (VBF). 23% owns the stronger of Tech (XLK) or KMLM, a managed‑futures diversifier. 18% is a risk switch that adds VIX funds (VIXY/UVXY), Treasuries (TLT) or market‑neutral (BTAL) when stocks look hot; otherwise holds growth (QQQ). 17% is “Nova”: park in T‑Bills (BIL) if volatility spikes; else trade EM up/down (EDC/EDZ) and buy tech on dips (TQQQ).
CheckmarkValue prop
Risk-adjusted edge: oos Sharpe 2.25 vs SPY 2.68, Calmar 4.41, drawdown 4.33% vs 5.07%. Four-sleeve, auto-hedged design blends staples/bonds, tech/macro futures, and volatility hedges for steadier growth and capital protection vs 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.
