About

Blends momentum with a tactical dip‑buyer. Most capital holds the top two 6‑month performers across stocks, bonds, gold, commodities, cash‑like T‑bills, and the US dollar. The rest toggles between defensive mixes and QQQ+TLT risk‑on based on sharp 10‑day drops.
NutHow it works
Two sleeves. ~65% rides the last 6 months’ winners among: US stocks (SPY), tech stocks (QQQ), long US bonds (TLT), gold (GLD), commodities (DBC), cash‑like T‑bills (SHV), and the US dollar (UUP), holding the top two. ~30% is tactical: if QQQ or TLT suffer a sharp 10‑day drop, rotate to a defensive mix or buy a QQQ dip when oversold (RSI <32). Otherwise, balance QQQ and TLT by recent calmness. Rebalance only when weights drift ~10%.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy delivers superior risk-adjusted results vs. the S&P: Sharpe 1.83 vs 1.48, Calmar 2.80, drawdown ~7% vs ~19%, while offering ~19.4% annualized upside. Diversified, dip-aware, and resilient across regimes.

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.
