About

Daily, equal-weight rotation of up to 4 momentum leaders among large-cap equities and select ETFs, with hedges (BTAL, VXX) and occasional levered bets; signals rely on RSI and moving-average/price checks to decide entries, and a top-4 selector determines final weightings.
NutHow it works
Plain language flow: - It watches a group of big-name stocks (AAPL, MSFT, META, GOOG, NVDA, AMZN, COST, MSTR, BRK/B, etc.) and related ETFs. - For each stock, it checks momentum and trend signals (roughly: is the stock in an uptrend, and is momentum strong?; is the market not overbought?). Momentum signals are largely based on moving averages (price vs short-term averages) and an indicator called RSI that measures recent price strength. - If a stock passes its signals, it becomes a candidate asset. If signals are weak or negative, protective or opposite exposures (bear ETFs) may be considered. - Across all candidates, the system ranks them by a short-term momentum measure (moving-average return over a 5-day lookback) and picks the top 4. - The strategy then allocates equal cash to these 4 and rebalances daily. - There are built-in hedge/installations with BTAL (anti-beta market neutral) and VXX (volatility proxy) and occasional long/short tilt via leveraged ETFs (e.g., QLD, TQQQ, AAPB, AAPD, GGLS, etc.) depending on signals. - The result is an actively rotated, hedged equity portfolio that seeks to ride short-term momentum while moderating risk through hedges.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: 32.2% annualized return vs 19% S&P, higher oos Sharpe (~1.10 vs ~1.04), and smaller max drawdown (~17.5% vs ~18.8%). Daily top-4 momentum with hedges targets stronger, risk-adjusted growth.

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.
