About

A rules‑based tactician: buy 3x tech/S&P on dips, hedge or use cash when markets run hot, and default to SPHD (high‑dividend, lower‑vol stocks) otherwise—guided by RSI “hot/cold,” sector leadership, bonds, and volatility.
NutHow it works
Splits money into 3 sleeves. It watches a 0–100 “hot/cold” meter (RSI) on tech/S&P and volatility. When overheated, it hedges with inverse funds (TECS, SPXU), volatility (UVIX), or T‑bills (BIL). When washed‑out, it buys 3x bull tech/S&P (TECL, SPXL) to catch rebounds. If no clear edge, it sits in SPHD (high‑dividend, lower‑vol stocks). Sector (XLK vs XLP/XLU) and bond ETFs (BND, IEF/TLT/TMF) guide risk‑on vs risk‑off.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy targets ~51% annualized return vs ~22% for the S&P, with Calmar ~1.72 and Sharpe ~1.30. A disciplined, multi-sleeve approach hedges heat, leverages tech leadership, and sits in a defensive core for higher upside with controlled risk.

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.
