About

Rules-based, two-sleeve portfolio: buy dips in 3x S&P/Nasdaq/Semiconductor funds, hedge with volatility when overheated, and hold dividend ETFs when no trade. Switches to bonds or inverse funds when fear rises. High risk.
NutHow it works
Two sleeves. Growth (~60%): pursues quick rebounds in S&P 500, Nasdaq, Semis via 3x funds (SPXL, TQQQ, SOXL). Rule: buy after sharp drops (RSI = 0-100 heat meter; <30 oversold); if too hot (>80), buy a fear fund (UVXY); else sit in T-Bills/short bonds (BIL/BSV). When fear cools (SVXY up), switch among TQQQ/SPXL, bonds, or inverse funds (SQQQ/SPXU). Income (~40%): same rules, but parks in monthly dividend ETFs (SPHD, PEY, DHS). High risk.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~54% annualized return vs ~19% for SPY, Sharpe ~1.29 vs ~1.14, Calmar ~1.72, max drawdown ~31% vs ~19%. Higher growth with strong risk-adjusted upside, plus tactical hedging and income sleeves.

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.
