About

A daily-rebalanced, regime-based strategy that blends leveraged growth ETFs with safety hedges, using multi-window momentum, drawdown, and volatility signals to switch between risk-on and risk-off modes. It substitutes UVXY with SOXS in some paths and aims to ride up markets while limiting losses.
NutHow it works
- It blends several strategy layers (V4 & V5 CFS concepts) into one daily-rebalanced plan. - Signals come from dip checks on big indices (Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500), momentum-like comparisons, volatility and drawdown metrics, and a set of moving windows (14d/21d/28d, etc.). - When signals favor risk appetite, the model tilts into leveraged growth (UPRO and TQQQ) with TMF as a partial hedge. - When signals warn of risk, it shifts to safety (BIL and SHY proxies) and may reduce or remove leverage. - It uses “Risk ON” and “Risk OFF” blocks with specific asset groupings and weights (example: 55% UPRO vs 45% TMF in some cases, plus 45% TMF). - The plan includes a dynamic hedging stack (UVXY and/or the SOXS alternative in some branches) to capture volatility spikes, and a Mean Rev path that tests mean-reversion signals. - It rebalances daily, oscillating between growth tilt and safety tilt based on the rules, not on a single indicator. - It references a mix of widely-traded ETFs and some less-popular ones (e.g., KMLM, UVXY, SOXS) to achieve diversification and hedging nuances. - The design emphasizes no K-1s in some sub-strategies, ease of tax reporting, and a focus on cash-like hedges when risk is high.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy targets much higher upside (~53% annualized) vs. the S&P (~22%), using dynamic risk-on/off regimes and hedges. Strong risk-adjusted profile (Calmar ~1.19), though drawdowns can be larger in downturns.

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.
