About

A two‑part, all‑weather plan: a tech/AI momentum sleeve that follows trend and buys extreme dips, plus a sleeve that sits in short‑term bonds and briefly flips to a volatility spike fund when markets get too hot.
NutHow it works
It splits money in two. 1) Growth: follow the long‑term trend (200‑day average). In uptrends, own the stronger of QQQ (big tech) or BOTZ (AI/robotics) unless it’s too hot, then hedge (PSQ). In downtrends, buy big dips (QLD or SPY) or rotate into QQQ/shorts/bonds (SHY). 2) Shock‑absorber: sit in short‑term bonds (BSV) but briefly jump into a fear/volatility fund (UVXY) when markets look overheated. Signals use a simple hot/cold meter (RSI) and 5‑day momentum.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample Sharpe ~1.50 vs S&P ~1.40; Calmar ~1.74; max drawdown ~12% vs ~19%. Returns near S&P but far stronger risk-adjusted performance and an all-weather two-sleeve design: tech/AI growth plus bond/volatility hedge.

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.
