About

A daily, single‑ETF sector rotator: hedge with UVXY when sectors look overheated, buy the dip when they look washed out, otherwise ride the first sector in an uptrend; if no clear signal, park in TLT. Active and can be volatile.
NutHow it works
Each day it scans 11 US stock sectors (XLK tech, XLF financials, XLV healthcare, XLE energy, XLB materials, XTL telecom, XLRE real estate, XLY consumer discr., XLI industrials, XLU utilities, XLP staples). If any looks very “hot” on a 0–100 speedometer of recent moves (RSI>80), it switches to UVXY (a fear/volatility fund). If any looks very “cold” (RSI<30), it buys that sector. Otherwise it buys the first sector in an uptrend (50>200‑day, then 5>20‑day). If none qualify, it holds TLT (Treasuries).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this sector-rotator delivers far stronger upside and risk-adjusted returns vs the S&P: ~71% annualized vs 20%; Sharpe ~1.65 vs ~1.07; Calmar ~2.92; beta ~0.84. UVXY hedge + TLT fallback; expect larger drawdowns 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.
