About

All‑weather portfolio inspired by the Dragon Portfolio. Balances stocks, bonds, gold, macro trend, and long‑volatility. Simple rules use trend, momentum, RSI, and drawdowns to press offense in calm markets and hedge hard in turmoil; includes leveraged ETFs.
NutHow it works
An all‑weather mix split into 5 buckets: 1) growth stocks, 2) Treasury bonds, 3) gold, 4) commodity/macro trend, 5) crisis hedges. Rules switch between offense and defense using trend (200‑day), momentum (120‑day leaders), RSI (a short‑term hot/cold gauge), and drawdowns. In calm growth it owns stocks and bonds (sometimes with leverage). In stress, it tilts to gold, the US dollar, and volatility funds that spike in selloffs.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: Sharpe ~1.57 vs SPY ~1.42; annualized return ~27% vs ~23%; max drawdown ~12% vs ~19%; Calmar ~2.25. Lower beta, smoother risk. All-weather strategy that outperforms across up and down markets.

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.
