About

A daily, rule-based system that picks one ETF to own from a diverse universe, using momentum and trend signals to switch between aggressive leveraged equity bets and hedging/defensive assets, switching between risk-on and risk-off as signals change."
NutHow it works
- Every day, the strategy asks: which single ETF should I own today from a big list of equity, volatility, and defensive funds? - It uses a hierarchy of checks. First, if a peak in tech momentum is detected (tech growth proxy is extremely overbought), it hedges by selecting a volatility-related fund among UVXY, VIXY, VIXM based on which has the weakest momentum signal. - If that isn’t triggered, it checks a short-term trend rule (is the 10-day average price above the 20-day average price for the tech proxy? If yes, it picks the single levered equity ETF with the strongest short-term momentum among a small set). - If both of those big rules aren’t met, it looks at a technology/biotech/semiconductor group and, depending on momentum, may pick one with relatively weak momentum (bottom RSI) or, if tech looks oversold (RSI below a threshold like 30), focus on that group again to seek a rebound. - If momentum or trend signals don’t point to growth assets, it swings to a defensive basket (bonds and consumer staples/utilities/healthcare sectors) and picks the one with the weakest momentum within that defensive group to own. - In short: it alternates between risk-on bets (levered equity) when momentum/trend are favorable and risk-off bets (volatility or safe sectors) when signals warn of risk, using a clear, rule-based selection of one asset to hold each day. - The daily rebalancing ensures the choice adapts to new signals, but the single-asset-at-a-time design means the system largely avoids diversified multi-asset exposure on any given day. - The approach is data-driven but relies on the behavior of leverage, volatility, and sector/asset rotations; real-world results depend on market regime, liquidity, and trading costs.

Backed by out-of-sample tests, this daily, rule-based system selects a single ETF to own, switching between levered upside and hedges for risk-off. It targets stronger upside than the S&P and smaller drawdowns through regime-aware, disciplined decisions.

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.
