About

Rules-based, two-sleeve ETF strategy: times short-term “pops” with RSI/VIX to rotate among 3x stock funds, volatility hedges, and cash, while a second sleeve holds monthly dividend ETFs unless markets hit extremes.
NutHow it works
Two sleeves. Uses a hot/cold meter (RSI: 0–100; >70=hot, <30=cold) and the fear gauge (VIX). When markets look washed out, it buys 3x funds: S&P 500 (SPXL), Nasdaq‑100 (TQQQ), semis (SOXL). When they look too hot, it briefly owns volatility (UVXY) or hedges (SQQQ/SPXU). Otherwise it parks in T‑Bills/bonds (BIL/BSV). The dividend sleeve holds monthly‑pay ETFs (SPHD/PEY/DHS) unless extremes trigger the same pop trades. Main exposures: tech/Nasdaq, semis, broad US stocks; value‑tilted dividends.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, rules-based rotation aims to beat the S&P 500 on risk-adjusted terms: ~51% annualized return vs ~19%, Sharpe ~1.29 vs ~1.18, Calmar ~1.63. Captures short-term pops with hedges and dividends.

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.
