About

A rule‑based, diversified, multi‑asset portfolio that uses simple signals (price vs moving average, RSI momentum) to tilt among stocks, bonds, commodities, gold, and volatility hedges. It includes CTA-like components (KMLM), volatility blends, and low-volatility stock selections to aim for growth with controlled risk.
NutHow it works
- It looks at a wide set of ETFs representing stocks, bonds, commodities, and volatility; then applies simple rules to decide which groups to hold. - If price trends are favorable (eg, price above a long-term average) and momentum signals look strong for a group, the strategy tilts toward that group (Scale-In, Step Up concepts). - If volatility signals worsen (eg, VIX indicators rise), it pivots toward hedges (VIX futures proxies, bonds, gold) or reduces equity exposure. - It uses a mix of signals (moving-average comparisons, RSI thresholds, and relative strength tests) to choose among assets and allocate weights within blocks like “VIX Blend” or “Bottom 3 SDR.” - The plan includes thematic blocks (like KMLM variants and commodity strategies) to capture different sources of return and to diversify risk across regimes. - Rebalancing happens according to the rule set and windows; the weights shift between risk-on and risk-off baskets as signals evolve. - The goal is to achieve more stable, compounding growth over time by participating in markets when uptrends exist and preserving capital when volatility spikes.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample tests show resilience and smoother, risk-managed growth. This rule-based, multi-asset approach tilts toward uptrends and hedges volatility, delivering steadier compounding and smaller drawdowns 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.
