About

A tactical, rules-based portfolio: ~30% rides S&P/tech uptrends, ~70% is a hedge engine that switches among volatility products and bonds. It uses simple signals (trend lines and an overbought/oversold gauge) to buy dips, trim heat, or seek safety in T‑bills.
NutHow it works
First, it checks the market trend (via moving averages). If up, it rides stocks (S&P 500 and 3x tech) but cuts risk when they get “too hot” (RSI, an overbought/oversold gauge). If down, it buys only extreme dips or shifts to shorts/bonds. A big hedge engine flips between short-vol (SVXY) in calm times and long-vol/bonds (UVXY/TMF/TLT) when stress rises. Cash-like T‑bills are the fallback.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy reduces risk with solid gains: ~16.6% annualized return vs 18.7% for the S&P, but drawdown is smaller (~14.6% vs ~18.8%). Calmar ~1.13; Sharpe ~0.87—strong risk-adjusted performance.

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.
