About

Owns 1.5x Microsoft by default. If short‑term signals say the market is “too hot,” it switches to T‑Bills or an anti‑beta hedge. Special rule reacts to sharp NASDAQ slumps/bounces. Checked and rebalanced daily.
NutHow it works
Default: MSFU (1.5x Microsoft). Each day it runs RSI heat checks (a 0–100 speedometer for short‑term moves; >~80 = very hot) across many market/sector gauges (S&P 500, NASDAQ/tech, value, communications, staples, discretionary, financials; some leveraged). If any are very hot, it moves to safety: BIL (T‑Bills) or BTAL (anti‑beta, favors steadier stocks vs frothy ones). Extra rule: after a 6‑day NASDAQ drop <−12%, a >5.5% 1‑day bounce keeps it in BTAL; otherwise MSFU. Rebalances daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Dynamic growth engine: a 1.5x MSFT core with automatic hedges to BIL/BTAL when markets heat up. Out-of-sample: ~15% annualized return with ~0.54 Sharpe. Provides structured risk controls and diversification the S&P lacks.

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.
