About

A rules-based plan that rides long uptrends with a stock+bond core (NTSX), adds managed futures when momentum is hot, and pivots to Treasuries, gold, or defensive picks in downtrends—occasionally buying tech on oversold dips.
NutHow it works
It first asks: is the long-term market trend up or down (using long/very long price averages of the S&P 500)? If up, it mostly holds a stock+bond core (NTSX), adding trend-following (DBMF) when the market runs hot. If weak or down, it shifts toward gold and Treasury bonds, and may buy tech on sharp dips. In deep bears it can own long Treasuries, managed futures, or a mild short of QQQ—whichever looks strongest by simple rules.
CheckmarkValue prop
A regime-switching, multi-asset strategy. Out-of-sample Sharpe ~1.34 vs ~1.33 for SPY; max drawdown ~10.8% vs ~18.8%; annualized return ~20.9% (slightly under SPY's ~21%). Durable risk-adjusted gains and downside protection via NTSX/DBMF/Gold/Treasuries.

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.
