About

An adaptive “meta‑portfolio” that leans into tech during uptrends and buys dips, but flips to cash, bonds, dollar, managed futures (KMLM), or inverse/volatility hedges when stress rises. It funds the 8 mini‑strategies working best at the moment.
NutHow it works
It runs three risk settings (low/med/high) and a short-term check picks one. Inside, money is split across the 8 mini‑strategies that have worked best lately. It buys tech in uptrends and on dips (RSI = 0–100 hot/cold gauge). If stress jumps (volatility spikes) or trends break (below 200‑day avg), it shifts to cash/T‑bills, Treasuries, the U.S. dollar, managed futures (KMLM), or inverse/short ETFs.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return ~48% vs SPY ~19%; Calmar ~1.05. An adaptive meta-portfolio shifts into hedges (bonds, cash, futures, volatility) in stress, aiming for bigger upside with risk controls versus 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.
