About

A daily, volatility‑aware mix: ~40% tactical growth and ~60% dividend income. Buys dips in 3x Nasdaq/S&P/semis, defaults to dividend ETFs in calm markets, and shifts to T‑bills, bonds, inverse, or volatility funds when risk spikes.
NutHow it works
Daily it splits money: ~40% a tactical growth engine, ~60% a monthly‑dividend engine. It watches a fear gauge (VIXM). When fear is high, it mostly hides in T‑bills (BIL) and may buy volatility pops (UVXY). When calm, it buys dips in 3x funds (TQQQ=Nasdaq, SPXL=S&P 500, SOXL=semis) and otherwise holds dividend ETFs (SPHD/PEY/DHS). If drops get sharp, it can hedge with inverse funds (SQQQ/SPXU) or sit in short bonds (BSV). RSI is a hot/cold meter: <30 dip, >80 overheated.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy aims for higher upside and better risk-adjusted returns than the S&P: ~48.6% annualized vs ~18.8%, Sharpe ~1.05, Calmar ~1.55, alpha ~0.12. It uses volatility-aware hedging and dip-buying to boost gains while managing risk (drawdowns can be larger in storms).

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.
