About

Daily, rules‑based mix: 60% rotates into the most attractive U.S. stock sector (with overbought/oversold checks). 40% hedges with Treasuries and volatility funds, sometimes inverse SPY/QQQ. Uses trend and momentum; can use leveraged ETFs.
NutHow it works
60% rotates among U.S. stock sectors. If any sector looks too hot (RSI>80), it buys a volatility spike hedge (UVXY). If a sector looks washed out (RSI<30), it buys that sector (regular or leveraged). Otherwise it owns the strongest/most active sector. 40% runs hedges: flips among long/short Treasuries (TMF/TMV/TLT/BND/SHV), volatility funds (SVXY/VIXY/UVXY/VIXM), tech (TECL/TQQQ), and sometimes inverse SPY/QQQ (SH/PSQ). Rebalances daily. RSI is a 0–100 speed gauge; >80 hot, <30 cold.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: Sharpe 2.17, Calmar 4.42, annualized return 84% vs SPY 21%. Drawdown ~19% (similar to SPY). More attractive risk-adjusted upside driven by disciplined sector rotation and hedging.

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.
