About

A complex, rule-based levered-ETF strategy that rotates among tech and broad-equity bets, gold, EMs, and real estate, with hedges and bonds as risk controls, using RSI and moving-average signals to guide daily weights.
NutHow it works
A rule-based framework splits capital across several groups (Tech leverage, Emerging Markets, Gold, Real Estate, and a cash/defense sleeve). Each group has sub-rules using momentum indicators (RSI) and price trend checks (moving averages). If signals show a strong uptrend, the system tilts toward leveraged stock ETFs (like 3x longs). If signals look overheated or risky, it shifts toward hedges or safer assets (volatility hedges, long-duration Treasuries). Gold and EM blocks provide alternative momentum bets. The final allocation is a fixed mix of weights across groups, rebalanced regularly, and driven by the nested if-then rules rather than discretionary judgment.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this rule-based levered strategy delivers superior risk-adjusted growth vs the S&P: Sharpe ~1.80 vs 1.41, annualized return ~72.8% vs 29.3%, Calmar ~3.0. Diversified momentum with hedges; higher drawdown risk (~24%).

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.
