About

A rules‑based, all‑weather portfolio: ride tech/growth in uptrends, hedge when markets get “too hot,” buy dips when “too cold,” and rotate across stocks, bonds, and commodities. Uses leveraged and volatility ETFs, plus income and a cash/bitcoin sleeve.
NutHow it works
It splits money into sleeves and follows simple gauges: - Trend: is price above its average? If yes, hold growth (NASDAQ/tech via QQQ, or 3x versions TQQQ/TECL). If not, hold safer assets. - Stretch (RSI): 0–100 heat meter. >80 = too hot (hedge with volatility UVXY or short SQQQ). <30 = too cold (buy the dip). It also rotates across S&P/Dow/Small‑caps and non‑US on trend, runs bond and commodity trend sleeves, keeps an income sleeve, and holds some cash (T‑bills) and a bit of bitcoin (BITO).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this all-weather strategy aims for higher upside with less downside: 34.4% vs 17.8% annualized return, 1.79 vs 0.96 Sharpe, 14% vs 19% max drawdown, and Calmar ~2.42, delivering stronger risk-adjusted growth vs the S&P.

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.
