About

Rules-based mix: trend-follow bonds or hold the U.S. dollar, tactically switch between long and short Nasdaq-100 using short-term extremes, volatility and bond signals, plus a small cross-asset momentum sleeve that can include commodities or gold miners.
NutHow it works
Three sleeves: 1) Bonds (53%): Own BND when its trend is up; otherwise hold USDU (U.S. dollar). 2) Broad market (30%): Flip between Nasdaq-100 (QQQ; or 3x version TQQQ) and hedges (PSQ or 3x SQQQ) using short‑term stretch readings (RSI: high=hot, low=washed‑out), volatility spikes, and bond/commodity trend checks (e.g., TLT, BIL vs IEF, SPY vs DBC). 3) Commodities (17%): Hold the 2 strongest of SPY, TLT, GDX, PDBC, FLOT by 120‑day return.

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.
