About

A rule-based, sleep-at-night portfolio: it hedges when markets run hot, buys brief rebounds when they’re washed out, and otherwise rotates among stocks, bonds, volatility, and managed-futures, plus a small foreign sleeve guided by inflation trends.
NutHow it works
Daily checks pick a mode using a short-term “too hot/too cold” score (RSI). Hot (>~80): hedge with volatility (VIXY), long Treasuries (TLT) or T‑Bills (BIL). Cold (<~28): buy brief rebounds in tech/S&P via small trades (TECL, SOXL, SPXL, QLD/SSO). Middle: rotate among SPY/QQQ, Treasuries, US dollar (UUP), long/short equity (FTLS), and managed‑futures (KMLM). A foreign sleeve flips EEM/EEV using inflation trend (RINF) and bond‑vs‑stock strength.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, risk-managed, regime-switching strategy offers much lower drawdowns (4.98% vs 6.33%), strong risk-adjusted returns (Calmar ~4.8) and broad diversification, delivering steadier, inflation-aware performance 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.
