About

Rules-based, wheat-centric approach: lean into WEAT when wheat outperforms and trends up, trim when overheated, otherwise hold a defensive, diversified mix plus tactical stock hedges. Goal: ride wheat rallies, defend when conditions weaken.
NutHow it works
First it asks: is wheat (WEAT, tracks wheat prices) beating the S&P 500 (SPY) over ~3y/2y/1y/6m and is its trend up? If yes, it owns more WEAT (up to 100%). If wheat looks too hot short-term, it cuts WEAT to ~67% or ~33% and puts the rest in a defensive mix picked by recent strength (gold, Treasuries, broad commodities, defensive sectors). If wheat lags, it mostly holds that mix and adds tactical QQQ and S&P 500 hedges. RSI = a 0–100 heat meter (>70 hot, <30 washed-out).
CheckmarkValue prop
Wheat-driven, rules-based strategy offering inflation-hedged upside with lower risk. Out-of-sample: 17.18% annualized return vs SPY 20.78%; max drawdown 15.78% vs 18.76%; Calmar ~1.09 and positive alpha—stronger risk-adjusted resilience than SPY.

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.
