About

Rules-driven, three-sleeve portfolio: bonds vs dollar by trend (53%); a tactical Nasdaq sleeve that shifts among TQQQ, JEPQ, PSQ/SQQQ using hot/cold and cross‑asset checks (30%); and a 2‑ETF trend sleeve from SPY/TLT/GDX/PDBC/FLOT (17%). Seeks growth with defense.
NutHow it works
It’s three sleeves. Bonds (53%): owns BND (total US bonds) when bonds trend up; otherwise holds USDU (long US dollar). Tech/Tactical (30%): flips among TQQQ (3x Nasdaq), JEPQ (income‑focused Nasdaq), and PSQ/SQQQ (short Nasdaq) using a simple hot/cold meter, long‑term trend lines, and cross‑checks from bonds, the dollar, commodities, and volatility. Trend sleeve (17%): holds the 2 best of SPY (S&P 500), TLT (long Treasuries), GDX (gold miners), PDBC (commodities, K‑1 free), FLOT (floating‑rate bonds).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: Sharpe 1.77 vs 1.39, drawdown 6.65% vs 18.76%, low beta ~0.23, Calmar 2.97 — all from a diversified three-sleeve, rule-based strategy that defends and targets growth beyond the S&P 500.

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.
