About

Dynamic, rules-based portfolio: goes heavy into growth (often with 3× funds) in uptrends and buys dips, then rotates to gold, dollar, Treasuries, defensive or inverse funds when trends weaken or rates rise; includes a fast crash-hedge switch.
NutHow it works
Rules-based, switch-hitting portfolio. It first tests the trend (S&P 500 above/below its 200‑day average). In uptrends it leans into tech/semis (often with 3× funds), buys dips, and may add a brief fear hedge. In downtrends or when rates rise, it pivots to gold, the U.S. dollar, Treasuries, defensive/market‑neutral stocks, or inverse funds. Other sleeves pick recent 3–4‑month winners and ride or hedge long bonds.
CheckmarkValue prop
A rules-based, multi-asset strategy that rotates into growth in uptrends and hedges declines with gold, USD and Treasuries. Out-of-sample: ~21.2% annualized return, Sharpe 1.11, Calmar 1.02, max drawdown ~20.8%—designed for capital preservation and steady upside vs the S&P.

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.
