About

A monthly, rules-based plan that uses bonds to decide risk-on vs risk-off, adds a panic brake for crashes, and rotates into either aggressive stock funds or defensive plays (bond shorts, energy/USD, gold miners, T‑Bills). Uses RSI to buy what’s “cold.”
NutHow it works
Trades monthly and splits into two parts: 80% core + 20% side bet. Core: 1) If the S&P 500 just plunged, flip to hedges (Treasuries, funds that rise when stocks fall). 2) Else, compare bonds: if broad bonds (BND) beat short bonds (BSV) over ~3 months, go “risk‑on” with fast‑moving stock funds (tech/semis/S&P). If not, judge rates via TLT: rising rates ⇒ bond shorts + energy/USD + stock hedges; falling rates ⇒ gold miners or T‑Bills. Side bet: buys one “cold” asset monthly (RSI = simple hot/cold score).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample return: 43.22% vs SPY 22.32%. Panic brake + bond-driven rotations target larger upside with crash protection. Expect higher drawdowns than SPY, but potential for stronger, risk-managed growth beyond 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.
