About

A rules-driven, risk-managed portfolio. It owns diversified stocks in healthy trends, adds small growth boosts after sharp dips, and automatically hedges with volatility funds, defensive stock baskets, Treasuries or cash when markets look overheated or risky.
NutHow it works
- Starts with a diversified core (mostly U.S. stocks, plus some international). - Every day it checks three things: trend (price vs its average), “hot/cold” (RSI), and market fear (VIX). - In uptrends it leans into growth (often tech) and adds small boosts after sharp dips. - When markets look overheated or fear rises, it shifts to hedges (VIX funds, defensive stock baskets, Treasuries or cash).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy delivers higher risk-adjusted returns (Sharpe ~1.02 vs ~0.96) and far smaller drawdowns (8.6% vs 18.8%), with disciplined hedging and multi-asset diversification that protect capital while pursuing gains.

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.
