About

A daily‑adjusted, 4‑part portfolio that mixes mean‑reversion and momentum. It picks between staples vs bonds (the more oversold), tech vs KMLM (a managed‑futures diversifier), a “Four Corners” risk dial (stocks/bonds/cash/hedges), and a “Nova” safety block that parks in T‑Bills when volatility spikes. RSI here is a 0–100 heat score of recent gains/losses.
NutHow it works
It splits your money into 4 rule sets and checks them daily. • 42% buys either consumer‑staples stocks or high‑grade bonds—whichever looks most “washed out” short‑term (low RSI) for a bounce. • 23% owns the stronger of Tech or KMLM (a managed‑futures diversifier). • 18% shifts among growth stocks, long Treasuries, cash, and hedges (volatility fund, utilities/gold) based on simple heat/trend gauges. • 17% is a safety block: if volatility spikes it parks in T‑Bills; otherwise it takes small, rules‑based positions in EM up/down, tech up/down, or bonds and cuts back to cash if risk rises.
CheckmarkValue prop
Diversified, risk-managed strategy with strong risk-adjusted results. Out-of-sample: lower drawdowns (4.33% vs 5.07%), lower beta (~0.52), and Calmar ~4.85—delivering steadier growth and downside 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.
