About

A daily, hedged, multi‑asset rotation that follows trend and “hot/cold” cues: buy strength and selective dips; in stress, move to cash‑like T‑bills, Treasuries, gold, or inverse hedges. Final weights are optimized to balance risk.
NutHow it works
It’s a daily, rules‑based blend of many mini‑strategies. It asks: is an asset trending up (price above its average) and is it hot or cold (RSI = a simple “overheated/washed‑out” meter)? • Strength: own growth (QQQ/tech), energy/commodities (DBO/DBC/XLE). • Weak/overheated: hold cash‑like T‑bills (SHV/BIL), long Treasuries (TLT/TMF), gold (GLD), or hedges that rise when stocks fall (PSQ/SH). Weights are set by math that spreads risk (Markowitz).
CheckmarkValue prop

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.
