About

Core‑and‑satellite design: a permanent core in SCHD + managed futures (DBMF, KMLM), plus a daily‑tactical sleeve that rides tech strength with leveraged ETFs and flips to hedges/VIX when risk rises—aiming to grow the core while limiting big drawdowns.
NutHow it works
About half stays in a steady core: SCHD (dividend stocks) plus two managed‑futures funds (DBMF, KMLM) that can work in many markets. The other half shifts daily using simple signals—trend (price vs average), “heat/speed” (RSI), recent gains, and choppiness—to ride tech (TQQQ/SOXL/TECL) in uptrends, and cut/hedge with SQQQ/TMV/treasuries or brief VIX plays (UVXY) when fear jumps.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy delivers superior risk-adjusted returns (oos Sharpe 1.41 vs 1.34) and higher annualized return (26.85% vs 21.31%), with lower beta and controlled drawdowns—driving growth with built-in risk protection.

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.
