About

A daily, risk‑managed, anti‑beta portfolio that spends much of its time in cash/T‑Bills, BTAL, managed futures, and hedges. It adds or removes stock, bond, and commodity exposure using simple “trend” and “hot/cold” gauges, aiming for low volatility and low correlation.
NutHow it works
It reads the market’s “thermometers” each day: long‑term trend (is SPY above its 200‑day average?) and short‑term “hot/cold” gauges (RSI = how overbought/oversold something looks). - Calm/uptrend: favor BTAL (anti‑beta), short‑vol (SVXY/SVIX), managed futures (DBMF/KMLM). - Overheated or falling fast: shift to cash/T‑Bills (BIL), long‑vol (UVXY/VIXY), or inverse index funds. - Deep dips: briefly buy 3x tech/stock funds (TQQQ/UPRO/TECL/SOXL) for rebounds. - Bonds and oil/nat‑gas rotate on simple trend/RSI rules.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return ~39.4% vs SPY 37.9%, low beta ~0.45 and Calmar ~5.35. A risk-managed, anti-beta strategy using hedges, managed futures, and cash to deliver higher risk-adjusted growth with less market exposure.

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.
