About

A complex, regime-based, long-term strategy that blends leveraged equity bets with hedges and inflation plays, using momentum, volatility, and regime signals to tilt among assets. It aims for trend profits while trying to limit drawdowns via hedges and cash-like controls; it rebalances daily.
NutHow it works
- It asks: what market regime are we in? (bull, bear, or sideways). - It then looks for two things: (1) assets showing strong, trend-like behavior, especially among leveraged Nasdaq/tech bets (TQQQ, TECL, SOXL, QQQ, UVXY in hedged roles) and (2) hedges or inflation plays (GLD, TMF, TMF-derived notes, UUP, U.S. dollar proxies) to buffer downturns. - It uses two big selection rules to pick a couple of assets: (a) top performers in a volatility/momentum screen (like a 35-day standard-deviation sort) and (b) assets with favorable momentum signals compared against moving averages. - There is a lot of nesting: sub-strategies tell you when to jump into risk-on bets (during strong uptrends) and when to pivot to risk-off hedges (during drawdowns or high volatility). - It also has explicit “Dip Buy” logic (look for oversold conditions) and “Sideways Deleverage” rules (when the market isn’t trending, reduce risk). - The net effect is a dynamic mix that can tilt heavily into leveraged equities in good times, but shifts toward hedges and less aggressive exposures when risk signals fire. - Rebalance is daily, meaning the portfolio is adjusted every day to reflect the latest signals and rankings.

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.
