About

A monthly, rules‑based “risk ON/OFF” portfolio. 80% follows a bond‑market trend signal (BND vs BSV) and shifts between leveraged growth or defensive hedges, with a fast SPY panic brake. 20% rotates into the weakest RSI fund to hunt rebounds.
NutHow it works
Monthly, 80% uses a bond trend switch: if BND beats BSV over ~3 months, go Risk ON (buy 4 leveraged growth funds: tech, semis, S&P, financials/TIPS). Otherwise Risk OFF: if long‑Treasuries are weak (rates rising), use inverse Treasuries, energy, US dollar and inverse equity funds; if Treasuries are firm (rates falling), use T‑Bills, gold miners or short junk bonds. A sharp SPY drop triggers a panic safety set. 20% is an RSI rotator: pick 1 fund with the weakest recent RSI (RSI = simple up‑vs‑down‑day score).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: ~38% annualized return vs S&P ~23.6%; max drawdown ~48% vs ~19%. A macro risk-on/off engine + rapid SPY panic brake aims for stronger upside with active risk controls.

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.
