About

Only buy crypto‑exposed names when Bitcoin’s trend is strong. Then put ~30% into the single hottest crypto proxy (Coinbase, miners, or Bitcoin ETFs) and keep the rest in T‑bills; otherwise sit fully in T‑bills. Daily checks.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks a Bitcoin ETF (BITO). If today’s price is above its recent averages (short, medium, and long term), it buys the single strongest crypto‑linked stock/ETF over the last few days—e.g., COIN (Coinbase), miners (RIOT, MARA, BITF, IREN), MSTR, or Bitcoin/industry ETFs (BITO, BTF, BITQ, IBLC, BITS, MAXI). It puts ~30% there and keeps the rest—or 100% if no uptrend—in T‑bills (BIL). Rebalances daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: ~19.6% annualized return with ~0.62 Sharpe, but ~57% max drawdown. A BTC-trend gated, 30% top-crypto proxy strategy that stays mostly in cash on downturns—crypto-cycle upside to complement the S&P 500.

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.
