About

A daily, rule-driven, multi-asset strategy that blends leveraged equities, volatility hedges, bonds, and dividends. Three battleship blocks pick momentum-driven winners; a 60d BND/60d BIL module hedges risk; a Dip Buy and Dividends modules add tactical entry/income angles. High risk, high activity.
NutHow it works
- The system runs every trading day and splits capital among many ETFs and leveraged products based on a large set of rules. - It has three main bundles called Battleship 1, Battleship 2, and Battleship 3 that each scan a wide universe and pick top candidates using momentum-like signals (things that compare recent strength to longer-term history) and specific thresholds. - Within each Battleship, assets are grouped into risk-on (levered equity plays like TQQQ, SOXL, TECL, LABU and related long or short exposures) and risk-off/hedge elements (volatility funds like UVXY, VXX, VIXY; gold/commodity hedges; and bonds like BND, IEF, TMF, BIL). Weights are often allocated across the chosen assets, sometimes equally within a subgroup, sometimes following a top-n sort by recent performance. - There are dedicated modules for “60d BND vs 60d BIL” that decide how much to tilt toward longer-term bonds versus cash-like exposure, using historical performance windows and a safety screen. - A separate Dividends module looks to favor dividend-paying assets or dividend-oriented ETFs to capture income if signals look constructive. - A Dip Buy module applies additional logic to buy on pullbacks, including hedged plays (PSQ, SQQQ) and tactical layering of leveraged funds when short-term momentum and risk conditions look favorable. - Signals include a mixture of momentum measures (e.g., relative strength/RSI), moving-average-type checks, and comparisons to thresholds (e.g., RSI values in the 70–90+ range indicate overbought or strong momentum, while other thresholds gate entry). - The overall objective is to participate in upside in a diversified, dynamic way, while using volatility hedges, safe assets, and dividend picks to reduce downside risk. It is a high-activity, tactical strategy that relies on many conditional gates; it is most suitable for experienced investors who understand leveraged ETFs and market-tairing risks.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~36% annualized return vs ~29% for the S&P, from a diversified, rule-based mix of leveraged equities, hedges, bonds and dividends. Note higher stress drawdowns (~19%), but disciplined risk controls aim for stronger upside.

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.
