About

A tactical, rules‑based portfolio that rides trends in tech and Treasuries when calm, and shifts to gold, the US dollar, staples, or volatility hedges during stress. It uses simple “hot/cold” and trend gauges to lean risk‑on or defend against crashes.
NutHow it works
In plain English: it’s a rules-based mix that tries to “surf the calm” and “brace for storms.” It reads simple gauges of heat/cool (RSI), trend (moving averages), choppiness (volatility), recent gains, and recent drops to decide what to hold. • Two volatility sentries watch the Nasdaq/S&P. Very hot → buy “fear” (UVXY) + a defensive stock mix (BTAL). Calm → ride tech (QLD) or bet on falling fear (SVXY/VIXM). Weak → a safety basket (SHY, SPY, BTAL, GLD, XLP). • An interest‑rate sleeve trend‑trades long US Treasuries: rising and not overheated → TMF (leveraged long bonds); falling or overheated → TMV (leveraged short bonds) or safety (gold GLD, US dollar UUP/USDU, staples XLP). • A momentum sleeve holds the best 2 of stocks (SPY), long bonds (TLT), gold (GLD), US dollar (UUP), commodities (DBC), or cash (SHV). • A crash‑catcher reacts to sharp tech drops: hedge with fear (UVXY), buy big dips (TQQQ) when deeply oversold, or sit in a safety trio (USDU/GLD/XLP). Ticker notes: UVXY/SVXY/VIXM = volatility funds; BTAL = defensive (long boring/short exciting stocks); TMF/TMV = 3x long/short 20‑yr Treasuries; UUP/USDU = long US dollar; XLP = consumer staples.

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.
