About

Rule-based, wheat-first strategy. It favors WEAT only when wheat has recently outperformed the S&P 500 and isn’t “overheated.” Otherwise it rotates into a defensive/tactical mix (gold, Treasuries, defensive sectors) and a timed Nasdaq sleeve.
NutHow it works
It first asks: has wheat (WEAT) beaten US stocks (SPY) over 6–36 months? If yes, it tilts to WEAT; if not, it runs a stock trend/hedge sleeve. Signals used: price vs recent average (trend) and an “RSI” hot/cold gauge. Strong-but-not-hot wheat = more WEAT. Overheated = less WEAT and more diversifiers (GLD, TLT/IEF/SHY, XLE/XLV/XLP, PDBC) plus a tactical Nasdaq sleeve (QQQ/QLD/PSQ). Tickers: WEAT=wheat; SPY=S&P 500; QQQ/QLD/PSQ=Nasdaq; GLD=gold; TLT/IEF/SHY=US Treasuries; XLE/XLV/XLP=defensive sectors; PDBC=broad commodities.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this wheat-first strategy offers upside when WEAT outperforms SPY, but stays defensive when markets heat up. Lower beta (~0.72), smaller drawdowns (15.8% vs 18.8%), and Calmar ~1.13 deliver better risk-adjusted protection with growth potential.

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.
