About

A daily, rules‑based “all‑weather” allocator that buys rebounds with leveraged stock ETFs and quickly flips to safety (T‑Bills, bonds, gold, dollar, managed futures, VIX funds) when markets look overheated or risky.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks simple gauges: trend (price vs recent average), heat/cold (RSI: a 0–100 “how stretched” score), and recent damage/volatility. If risk looks high or prices are overheated, it shifts to safety (T‑Bills, Treasuries, gold, dollar, BTAL, managed futures, or VIX funds). If prices look washed‑out, it buys likely rebound leaders (3x S&P, Nasdaq, semis). Commodities are added when their trends are strong. Uses leveraged/VIX ETFs; high risk.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy delivers superior risk-adjusted performance vs the S&P: higher Sharpe (1.75 vs 1.41), much smaller drawdowns (7.4% vs 13.7%), and strong Calmar (~2.71) with meaningful alpha, while preserving upside and reducing risk.

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.
