About

Own BTC while shorting higher‑risk BTC proxies (MicroStrategy, Coinbase). Offset with long big‑tech and gold, plus shorts in miners, ARK‑style growth, Ether, and the yen. Sized by inverse volatility and rebalanced daily.
NutHow it works
What it’s trying to do: own Bitcoin itself while betting against the riskier Bitcoin plays (MicroStrategy and Coinbase) using ETFs that rise when those stocks fall. It balances this with long big‑tech (QQQ, semis), long gold (GLD), and shorts in gold miners (DUST), high‑growth/ARK‑style stocks (SARK), Ether (SETH), and the Japanese yen (YCS). Positions are sized by recent volatility so calmer assets get more. Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy delivers better risk-adjusted returns than the S&P 500 by owning Bitcoin while shorting overlevered BTC proxies, balanced with tech/gold/FX hedges and volatility-based sizing with daily rebalancing.

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.
