About

A risk‑managed trend strategy that rides tech and commodity uptrends, shifts to bonds or cash when trends weaken, and uses volatility ETFs as “airbags.” It blends many sleeves and sizes them to smooth the ride.
NutHow it works
It’s an all‑weather, rules‑based mix. It reads two simple signals: RSI (a 0–100 heat gauge: >80 very hot, <30 very cold) and moving averages (trend lines: price above = uptrend). In uptrends it leans into turbo‑tech or SVXY; if overheated or falling, it shifts to bonds/cash or hedges (UVXY/shorts). It adds energy/oil/gas/agri only when they trend up. Positions shrink when volatility rises.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy delivers higher annualized return (~21% vs 20.18%), lower beta (~0.83), and smaller drawdowns (~13.5% vs 18.8%), plus a strong Calmar (~1.55)—offering better upside with less risk than 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.
