About

A daily, one-asset-at-a-time tactical fund picker (front-runner) that shifts into the strongest momentum signals among a mix of cash, hedges, and leveraged equity ETFs, using RSI and recent returns to decide which ETF to own.
NutHow it works
Each trading day, the system scans a broad ETF universe. It uses momentum signals (RSI) and recent return patterns to score which asset looks most likely to perform next. The first asset whose signal passes its threshold is chosen to receive 100% of the capital. If no signal is strong enough, the system keeps cash. The process prioritizes safe/cash-like assets (BIL) and hedges (UVXY) first, then moves to leveraged bets on emerging markets and tech/semiconductors, with additional cross-asset checks (like how another asset has performed recently) to refine the choice. The result is a single-asset, daily-rebalanced position aiming to ride the day’s strongest signal while avoiding weak signals. Note: the use of 3x leveraged ETFs means higher volatility and risk.

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.
