About

Aggressive, daily-rebalanced, multi-basket strategy using momentum and volatility signals to pick levered/hedged asset sets across stocks, bonds, commodities, and inflation hedges. ThreeBattlestations (~25/50/25 weight) aim for upside with volatility-driven downside protection; very high risk and complex.
NutHow it works
- The system runs a daily check to decide where to put capital among a large pool of assets. It uses a nested decision structure: if certain volatility/momentum conditions are met, it tilts toward hedges (short S&P 500, VIX-related products) to limit drawdowns. If not, it looks across several buckets (battleships) that contain many potential long and short positions. - Within each bucket, it ranks candidates using momentum-like measures (how much an asset has risen on average over a window) and other signals, then picks the top few to hold. - The basket of assets includes broad stock ETFs (like SPY and QQQ), leveraged ETFs (UPRO, TQQQ), inverse/shorts (SPXU, UVXY), bonds (BND, BIL, SHY), commodities (DBC, GLD, SLV, USO, WEAT, CORN, etc.), and inflation hedges (gold, oil, dollar index). Some positions are intentionally volatile and leveraged, which can amplify both gains and losses. - The three Battlestations are combined with fixed-ish weights (roughly 25%, 50%, and 25%) to create a diversified yet aggressive overall exposure. Each Battlestation itself contains multiple decision branches and sub-groups that select and size assets, sometimes using additional filters (e.g., choosing the top 5 assets by moving-average performance within a group). - The strategy uses moving-average returns (a basic momentum idea) and exponential moving averages to compare current prices to longer-term trends, helping decide whether to be long, hedged, or in inflation/commodity plays. - The end result is a dynamic, frequently changing mix of equities, bonds, commodities, and hedges designed to chase upside while trying to limit downside through volatility-aware hedges. - Given the number of levered/short instruments, it is very important to understand this is a high-risk, high-variance approach that can experience large drawdowns in drawdown-heavy markets. If you want, I can translate each key block (e.g., SPXU logic, UVXY usage, DBC/GLD/Gold hedges, the “Inflation Hedge” group) into plain language with examples of how it might look in a single trading day.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: dramatically higher risk-adjusted upside versus SPY (roughly 96% annualized vs 21.6%), with Sharpe ~1.64 and Calmar ~4.58, thanks to hedges and diversified momentum. Stronger long-term growth with built-in risk control.

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.
