About

Daily, it holds MSFO (an option‑income fund tied to Microsoft) unless short‑term market gauges look overheated. Overheated signals switch it to cash‑like T‑Bills or a defensive anti‑beta fund (BTAL). A crash plus sharp bounce also triggers defense.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks a short‑term “heat” score (10‑day RSI) on many market and sector funds. If any look too hot, it moves defensive: cash‑like T‑Bills (BIL) or BTAL (long steadier stocks, short riskier ones). Otherwise it holds MSFO. After a sharp drop and big snapback, it also goes defensive.
CheckmarkValue prop
Capital-protecting strategy: in overheated markets it hedges to cash or anti-beta bets, reducing max drawdown to ~17.8% vs SPY’s 18.8%, with Calmar ~0.86—delivering steadier, more risk-controlled exposure than 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.
