About

A 3‑part portfolio: big‑tech momentum (30%), a simple core mix of stocks and T‑bills (40%), and a tactical sleeve (30%) that rides leveraged tech in uptrends but shifts to hedges or Treasuries when risk rises.
NutHow it works
It’s three sleeves: - 30% picks the 2 strongest big‑tech stocks (Apple, Microsoft, etc.) by recent 1‑month performance. - 40% holds a simple core: S&P 500 (VOO), global stocks (VT), and T‑bills (TBIL), split evenly. - 30% is tactical: two rule‑sets that mostly ride leveraged tech (TQQQ/TECL/SOXL) when trends are strong, but quickly flip to hedges (SQQQ/SOXS/VXX) or Treasuries (TMF/TMV/SHY) if things look overheated or weak. Signals use trends (price vs average), “overheated/oversold” gauges (RSI), and bond/volatility cues.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this three-sleeve strategy outperforms the S&P on risk-adjusted growth: Sharpe 1.45 vs 1.21, annualized return ~42.9% vs ~20.3%, Calmar ~1.69 vs ~1.08—tech upside with hedging for downside control.

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.
