About

A daily, rules-based ETF portfolio that diversifies across sectors (healthcare, energy, financials, staples) with hedges to volatility and selective leveraged bets to chase momentum, shifting toward safety when risk rises.
NutHow it works
- The strategy pools a wide set of sector ETFs (Healthcare, Energy, Financials, Consumer Staples) to form a diversified equity sleeve. It also considers other broad or thematic ETFs as potential holdings. - Every day, it ranks candidate ETFs by recent performance (roughly how much they gained over a moving window) and selects the top few to own. - Capital is typically spread evenly across the chosen assets rather than concentrated in a single name. - When signals suggest favorable conditions (positive momentum and broad market strength), it adds aggressive/leveraged bets in growth-oriented areas (like SOXL, TECL, TQQQ, SPXL) to capture upside. - When signals indicate risk, it pivots toward hedges and defensives (UVXY, VIXY, VIXM for volatility hedges; SHY, IEF, EDV, TLT, GLD, UUP, etc., for defensive exposure). - The system uses regime-style groupings (e.g., “Defense”, “Bear Market”, “Risk Off”) to switch emphasis between risk-on assets and risk-off hedges based on momentum, volatility, and price trends. - Rebalancing happens daily, recomputing signals and adjusting weights accordingly. - The design relies on trend-following concepts (moving averages, cumulative returns) and momentum/volatility thresholds to make entry/exit decisions and to manage risk, including drawdown controls. - This results in a diversified, dynamic equity exposure with built-in hedging, intended to weather different market environments while pursuing upside in favorable regimes.

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.
