About

A rules-based, risk-managed portfolio that lives in T‑bills and, when conditions are right, adds small tactical tilts: long semiconductors, long China, or a short Nasdaq hedge—using momentum, trend, and volatility checks, sized by recent risk.
NutHow it works
It mostly sits in short‑term Treasuries (BIL/SGOV/SHY). Small, tactical slices turn on when signals align: • SOXL (3x semis) after a strong-but-not-crazy semi up day and easing fear. • SQQQ (3x short Nasdaq) as a hedge if tech looks stretched. • YINN (3x China) on rebound cues. Signals use RSI (a 0–100 momentum score), moving averages (trend), very short‑term % moves, and volatility gauges (UVXY/SVXY). Active slices are smaller if more volatile (inverse‑vol).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: Sharpe 2.65 vs SPY 0.90; drawdown 0.46% vs 18.8%; Calmar 17.2. Core cash/T-bill base with disciplined tactical tilts offers far better risk-adjusted returns and downside protection 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.
