About

A daily-rotating, rule-based ETF portfolio that uses momentum and volatility signals across a wide pool of levered and unlevered funds to aim for growth while hedging risk; it shifts between tech/semiconductors, international stocks, bonds, and volatility hedges depending on market signals.
NutHow it works
- It runs a daily check of market conditions and then builds a one-day lineup from a large basket of ETFs and leveraged funds. - Each group focuses on a theme (for example, “Overbought S&P” or “Defense | Modified”), and within that group it ranks possible assets by a chosen metric (like RSI, cumulative returns, or moving-average signals). - From the ranked list, it selects 1 asset (often the strongest or weakest by the metric) to own for that day, assigning weight mostly at full exposure within the chosen group. - Multiple groups may be evaluated, and the strategy can choose assets from several groups or concentrate into a single group depending on signals. Some groups are designed to go long, others to go short or use hedges (e.g., UVXY, SQQQ) to profit from or protect against rising volatility. - The overall allocation across groups is rebalanced daily. Cash or cash-equivalents appear in some branches as part of risk control. - The instrument mix includes broad stock proxies (SPY, QQQ). Tech and semis are heavily represented via SOXL, SOXS, TECL, TQQQ, SPXL, QLD, SQQQ. Bond-equivalents and safety plays include SHY, IEF, EDV, AGG, BIL, TMF, TMV. Currency and commodity exposure appear via UUP (USD), UCO/UCG (oil), GLD/UGL (gold), DBC (broad commodities). - The intent is to capture momentum trends, hedge against volatility, and rotate into safer assets during risk-off periods while keeping exposure to growth themes when conditions look favorable.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return ~36.8% vs SPY ~23.5%, driven by daily momentum rotation and volatility hedges. Potential for strong upside in rising markets with built-in risk defenses; note higher drawdown risk than 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.
