About

A daily, hedge-driven multi-ETF framework that blends volatility hedges, levered long/bond tilts, and sector rotations to protect against drops while seeking upside; uses many signals (RSI, moving averages, drawdowns) and a Serenity Ratio for allocation, with occasional use of niche ETFs like KMLM as inputs.
NutHow it works
- The system rebalances daily, selecting a diversified mix of ETFs to hedge risk and seek upside. - It uses many nested rules that compare RSI values, moving averages, and drawdowns across a broad universe of tickers (including SPY, QQQ, XLK, XLF, XLI, XLV, XLP, XLE, TMF, TMV, UVXY, SVXY, SOXL, SOXS, TQQQ, TECL, SPXL, UVIX, and more). - A core theme is to place hedges (volatility-related ETFs like UVXY or UVXY twins, and inverse/short vehicles like SVXY) when market momentum or volatility signals indicate overheating or stress. - Simultaneously, the model rotates into opportunistic long exposures across sectors and megatrends (technology, semiconductors, healthcare, energy, financials) using levered or standard ETFs to capture upside when conditions look favorable. - A separate block explicitly pursues short SPY exposure under certain bond/momentum signals to tilt the portfolio toward risk-off or neutral regimes. - The weighting is driven by a “Serenity Ratio” scheme that mixes several blocks with different risk budgets (e.g., 70/100, 90/100, 40/100 weights across groups). - The approach includes specialized sub-strategies (e.g., “Black Swan Catcher,” “TMF Momentum,” “Hedged Sector Rotator,” “20/60 Machine”) intended to diversify signals and avoid overfitting to a single regime. - KMLM appears as a reference input in one conditional check, indicating the strategy can incorporate obscure ETFs to calibrate signals or serve as a benchmark. The gist for a layperson: expect a lot of hedging when fear is high and selective, leverage-backed bets when the market shows breadth and momentum. Overall, it’s a risk-managed, dynamically adjusted mix of hedges and growth bets rather than a simple market bet.

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.
