About

A 60% sleeve that hunts the calmest world region, buys the most beaten‑down ETF there when conditions are calm, and otherwise hides in short Treasuries or briefly shorts overheated markets. Uses ETFs on the US, Eurozone, China, and Emerging Markets.
NutHow it works
Up to 60% goes into one region (US, Eurozone, China, or Emerging). It first finds the calmest region (lowest recent volatility or drawdown), then picks the colder of those two using a hot/cold gauge of recent moves (RSI: high=hot, low=cold). Inside that region: if calm and not overheated, it buys what’s most beaten‑down (could be 1x/2x/3x stocks or local bonds). If too hot, it parks in short‑term Treasuries or even shorts. The rest stays in cash.
CheckmarkValue prop
Global tactical strategy hunts calm regions, buys beaten-down assets, and hedges when markets heat up. Out-of-sample: ~18.2% annual return, beta ~0.74, Sharpe ~0.75— diversification and lower market sensitivity vs 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.
