About

A rule-based, regime-driven basket strategy that selects 1 top asset (out of many ETFs, including 3x leveraged and defensive funds) to own at a time. It uses momentum, trend, and volatility signals (RSI, moving averages, and price momentum) to switch bets across risk-on tech, volatility plays, or defense/treasury bags, with no regular rebalancing and a heavy emphasis on leverage and hedges.
NutHow it works
- The strategy continually scans a broad universe of ETFs, focusing on momentum, trend, and regime signals described above. - It groups assets into market-condition blocks (e.g., Overbought/Volatility, Bear Market, Defense, Normal/Stable). - Within each block it ranks candidates using metrics like RSI (momentum), moving-average return, or price momentum. It then selects the top or bottom candidate (usually the single best) and assigns a full 100% position to that asset while other blocks wait for their turn. - The flow is nested: several blocks feed into If-Else decisions; only one asset is typically active at a time per group, with a typical default stance of no automatic rebalancing unless a rule triggers. - Leveraged ETFs (like SOXL, TECL, UVXY, SQQQ, TMF, etc.) are used to express directional bets with higher potential reward and risk. Defensive/proxy assets (BIL, SHY, AGG, GLD, TLT, IEF, UUP, EWZ, EEM, etc.) provide hedges or defensive ballast when signals indicate risk-off. - The system uses moving averages over different windows (e.g., 5, 7, 20, 60, 126, 210, 360 days) to assess short-, mid-, and long-term trends, and RSI thresholds to gauge whether a security is overbought or oversold. - There is no fixed frequency for rebalancing; the engine acts when a rule fires, which could be days apart or longer, depending on market conditions.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy targets ~71% annualized upside vs SPY's ~23%, with a Calmar ~1.08. It uses regime-driven momentum and hedges/levered bets to boost returns. Caution: higher drawdowns are possible - high risk, high reward.

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.
