About

A rules-driven, tactical portfolio that buys assets in uptrends and hides in T‑bills when they’re not. When markets overheat or crack, it adds crash protection (VIX/inverse ETFs, Treasuries, gold, USD). Includes tech/energy tilts and commodity trades.
NutHow it works
It’s a rules-based, trend-and-momentum portfolio. It owns broad U.S. stocks, big tech names, sectors (tech, energy, staples), small‑cap value, bonds, gold, oil/natural gas, and the U.S. dollar when they’re in uptrends (recent price above long‑term average). If not, it parks in T‑bills. When markets get overheated or shaky (short‑term “speed/heat” gauges), it cuts stock risk and adds crash protection (VIX funds, inverse ETFs, Treasuries, gold/USD). Some sleeves use leveraged ETFs; risk can be high. Moving average: average price over months, used to spot trends. RSI: a short‑term “speed/heat” gauge; very high = overheated, very low = washed out.
CheckmarkValue prop
Capital-protecting, crisis-aware strategy: in out-of-sample tests it kept drawdowns smaller than SPY (12.7% vs 18.8%), using trend-following, crash hedges, and cash tilts for safer diversification with upside in calm markets.

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.
