About

Rules-based, hedged growth: 55% times QQQ with trend/RSI and can shift to bonds, gold, cash or inverse QQQ; 45% sits in BTAL and DBMF diversifiers to help in crashes and choppy markets.
NutHow it works
55% tactically trades the Nasdaq‑100 (QQQ) using two gauges: a 200‑day average (long‑term trend) and RSI, a 0–100 speedometer of recent moves (high=overheated, low=washed‑out), plus short‑term returns. In uptrends it usually holds QQQ; if overheated it parks in Treasuries/bonds/gold. In downtrends it hedges or flips to inverse QQQ, with extra protection in deep selloffs. The other 45% holds BTAL (long low‑risk, short high‑risk stocks) and DBMF (managed‑futures trends).
CheckmarkValue prop
Hedged growth that blends tech exposure with diversifiers to limit downside. Out-of-sample drawdown 11.8% vs 18.8% for the S&P, beta ~0.51, Calmar 1.33, Sharpe 1.04 — a steadier, more resilient path with upside potential.

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.
