About

Daily rules split between monthly dividend ETFs (SPHD, PEY, DHS) and “pop” trades in 3x funds (SPXL=3x S&P, TQQQ=3x Nasdaq, SOXL=3x semis). Uses RSI/VIX to buy dips, sit in cash/bonds (BIL/BSV), hedge with UVXY, or pivot to SQQQ/SPXU.
NutHow it works
60% monthly dividend sleeve; 40% “pop” trades in 3x funds tied to the S&P 500, Nasdaq‑100, and semiconductors. Daily: RSI = hot/cold score. Low (<30) → buy the 3x fund. High (>80) → hedge with a fear/volatility fund. Else sit in cash‑like T‑Bills or the dividend sleeve. Safety switches move to bonds or bear funds when fear (VIX) is high or the S&P falls fast. Goal: steady income, buy dips, and go risk‑off in turmoil.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy targets ~48.6% annualized return vs ~18.8% for the S&P, with Sharpe ~1.05 and Calmar ~1.55. It accepts larger drawdowns (~31% vs ~19%) but uses hedges and volatility rules for higher upside with disciplined risk.

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.
