About

A daily, single‑position, risk‑on/risk‑off momentum strategy: rising fear → pick a safe haven; strong cyclicals → buy the strongest 2x–3x stock ETF; otherwise hold a defensive hedge. Uses short‑ vs long‑term strength scores.
NutHow it works
Each day: 1) Check fear (UVXY). If its short‑term strength score beats its longer‑term score, assume turbulence and pick the “calmest” safety from BTAL (anti‑beta stocks), VBF (bonds), VDC (staples), or UGL (2x gold) by the smallest 5‑day drop. 2) Else check UCC (cyclical). If strong, go risk‑on and buy the hottest 2x–3x bull ETF: SPXL (S&P 500), TQQQ (Nasdaq‑100), ERX (Energy), CURE (Health), UDOW (Dow), UPW (Utilities), or UCC. 3) Else hold BTAL or SJB (inverse junk bonds). Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample return: ~45.46% vs SPY 29.21%; Calmar ~1.59. A regime-aware, single-position strategy aims for stronger long-run growth with risk-off hedges, though drawdowns can be larger in downturns.

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.
