About

Rules-based, diversified portfolio that rotates into winners and parks in safe assets or hedges during stress. It blends stocks, bonds, commodities, currencies, gold, and managed futures; and, when trends are strong, selectively uses leveraged ETFs.
NutHow it works
Your money is split across sleeves: core stocks+bonds, value/sector leaders, global stocks, bonds, commodities, gold/US dollar, managed‑futures, and crash insurance. Each sleeve checks simple signals: trend (price vs average), momentum (recent gains), volatility/drawdown. If strong, it owns the asset; if weak, it parks in T‑Bills/dollar/gold or hedges. In calm uptrends it tilts to growth (sometimes 2x–3x ETFs); in selloffs it shifts to safety/volatility hedges. Terms: RSI = speed gauge (0–100).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this adaptive, diversified strategy cuts drawdowns (13.24% vs SPY 18.76%), preserves solid risk-adjusted returns (Sharpe ~1.27, Calmar ~1.14), and adds inflation/crisis hedges for steadier growth vs 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.
