About

A daily, rules‑based portfolio that goes defensive (gold, dollar, Treasuries, BTAL, sometimes UVXY) when fear/volatility rises, and goes offensive (3× S&P/Nasdaq and energy) when trends are calm and strong. A separate sleeve trades long Treasuries and gold by trend.
NutHow it works
Every day it asks: is the market calm or stressed? - If stressed (big recent drops, wild swings, or the “fear” index rising), it shifts to defense: gold (GLD), dollar (UUP), Treasuries (IEF/SHY/BND), a market‑neutral fund (BTAL), and sometimes UVXY (benefits from volatility). - If calm/uptrending, it rides momentum: 3× S&P (UPRO) and 3× Nasdaq (TQQQ), plus energy (XLE, oil/gas ETFs) when strong. A separate sleeve trades long Treasuries (TMF/TMV) and gold by simple trend gauges (moving averages, an RSI‑style “hot/cold” speedometer).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy delivers superior risk-adjusted gains vs the S&P: Sharpe 2.95 vs 2.83, Calmar ~6.63, lower beta ~0.38, with defensive hedges and trend-following that protect during stress while pursuing durable growth.

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.
