About

Daily, rules-based portfolio that toggles between risk-on (tech/energy) and risk-off (T‑Bills/Treasuries/volatility hedges) using ‘hot/cold’ and trend checks. Includes crash protection and commodity sleeves. Uses leveraged ETFs.
NutHow it works
Checks trend and ‘hot/cold’ (RSI, moving averages) daily to tilt the mix. - Risk‑on: lean into growth/tech, energy and broad US stocks. - Risk‑off/overbought: move to T‑Bills/short Treasuries, longer Treasuries, and volatility or inverse hedges. - Crash rules and dip‑buys add on sharp sell‑offs. Mainly US large‑cap/tech; also comms, financials, staples; energy; some EM; gold. RSI = 0–100 ‘hot/cold’; VIXY/UVXY = volatility. Uses leveraged/vol ETFs; expect swings.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample results: 12.23% annualized return with better downside protection (12.26% max drawdown vs SPY 18.76%), Calmar ~1.00 and Sharpe ~0.79—providing resilient diversification beyond 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.
