About

Mostly holds SCHD, but tactically swings into 3x tech/broad ETFs on deep dips and moves to cash-like bills or hedges when markets run hot or volatility spikes. Uses RSI, sector leadership, and bond trends to switch between risk-on, neutral, and defensive modes.
NutHow it works
Core holding is SCHD (dividend stocks). It flips among 3 modes: Risk-on trades into TECL/TQQQ/SPXL/UDOW (3x tech/Nasdaq/S&P/Dow) when those look washed-out; Defense in BIL (T-bills) or TECS/UVIX/SPXU (short tech/long volatility/short S&P) when things look too hot or VIX jumps; Otherwise stay in SCHD. It uses RSI (0–100 heat of price moves), short-term drops/spikes, tech vs defensive sector leadership, and Treasury trends to decide.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~51% annualized return vs ~22% for the S&P, with solid risk-adjusted metrics (Sharpe ~1.28, Calmar ~1.71). Expect higher upside through tactical leverage on dips, protected by SCHD core + hedges.

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.
