About

A daily, rule-based tactical portfolio mixing equity exposure with volatility/hedge hedges (UVXY, BTAL), triggered by momentum signals on SPY and other tickers. The core hedge pattern is often a 75% UVXY / 25% BTAL tilt when risk signals are high; VOX variant adds an extra hedge cue.
NutHow it works
- Every day, the strategy evaluates a cascade of rules that look at momentum indicators on several market proxies (notably SPY for the broad market, plus other ETFs such as IO0, XLF, VTV, VOX, QQQ, etc.). The momentum indicator is used as a simple gauge of recent price strength (roughly: is the asset's recent move unusually strong or weak). - If a set of these indicators shows extreme strength/high momentum (e.g., RSI-like thresholds around the 79–81 range on SPY or related signals on other tickers), the system shifts a portion of capital into hedges: primarily UVXY (volatility exposure) with a secondary allocation to BTAL (anti-beta/macro-hedge). A common hedge pattern shown is a 75% UVXY / 25% BTAL split within a sub-group named "UVXY 75|25 BTAL". - If those extreme momentum conditions aren’t met, the strategy leans toward equity exposure (tickers like SPY, QQQ, UPRO, TQQQ, SQQQ in some configurations), but still includes hedges to protect against tail risk. The rules are layered with many nested IF branches, sometimes referencing different tickers’ RSI readings to decide which of several hedge or equity sleeves to favor. - There is a variant called the VOX OB (added VOX) that introduces an additional signal from VOX to adjust weights, forming the variant named Feaver Frontrunner V5 WM 75 (added VOX OB). - The portfolio is labeled as EQUITIES and is designed to be rebalanced daily, with a focus on a front-runner group that attempts to ride uptrends while maintaining a hedge against sudden volatility spikes. The structure is complex and relies on automated rule evaluation rather than discretionary judgment. - Important caveats: UVXY and SQQQ are leveraged/short volatility instruments and can underperform for long stretches if volatility remains subdued; BTAL is a market-neutral hedge with its own risk/fee profile. This is a tactical, risk-managed approach, not a simple buy-and-hold equity strategy.
CheckmarkValue prop

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.
