About

A daily, rule‑driven portfolio: a small steady core (SCHD/SCHG + managed‑futures DBMF/KMLM) plus a tactical sleeve that rides strong tech trends with leverage, hedges fast when risk rises, and uses volatility spikes for protection. Risk is adjustable.
NutHow it works
Daily it splits your money into: (1) a steady core (SCHD/SCHG plus managed‑futures DBMF and KMLM), and (2) a tactical sleeve that dials risk up or down. It buys “turbo” tech/semis funds when uptrends are strong, flips to hedges (inverse funds, Treasuries, cash) when trends weaken, and uses volatility spikes as protection. Signals use trend lines and short‑term “hot/cold” gauges.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: annualized return ~64% vs ~21% for S&P; Sharpe ~1.35 vs 1.32; Calmar ~1.78. A rule-based mix of core dividends, trend-following futures, and volatility hedges offers higher risk-adjusted upside, with drawdowns in stress periods.

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.
