About

An adaptive, K‑1‑free “all weather” mix that shifts with fear and interest‑rate trends. It rotates among leveraged stock funds, Treasuries (long or short), the U.S. dollar, and commodities, with a crash switch to protect in panics. Aims to beat the S&P 500 long term.
NutHow it works
Step 1: Panic check. If fear is high (VIXY’s RSI—a 0–100 “recent ups vs downs” score—>54), switch to Crash Protection: if the Nasdaq (QQQ) is above its 25‑day average, hold one 2x index fund; else sit in very short‑term Treasuries. Step 2: Otherwise hold ~30% stocks, 55% bonds, 15% commodities. Stocks: when rates fall, rotate into 2–3x S&P/Tech/Semis; when rates rise, use defensives (staples, energy), inverse index funds, and 40% long the U.S. dollar (USDU). Bonds: Treasuries when steady, 3x long when rates fall, or short Treasuries + long USD when rates rise. Commodities: keep a broad fund (PDBC) and add oil/gold/silver if strong.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~24.41% return vs 22.01% S&P, Sharpe ~1.27 vs ~1.32, beta ~0.55, drawdown 18.33% (vs 18.76%), Calmar ~1.33. An adaptive, crash-protected, K-1-free all-weather strategy aiming to beat the S&P long-run.

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.
