About

A tactical, volatility-driven rotation between dividend-focused equities and aggressive levered bets, guided by UVXY and RSI momentum signals across major ETFs. High risk due to leverage; intended for short-to-intermediate horizons, not long-term holding.
NutHow it works
How it works in plain language (simplified): - The system watches UVXY, a measure that tends to rise when market fear/volatility jumps. It calculates UVXY’s recent momentum using RSI (an indicator that summarizes how much an asset has moved up or down recently). - If UVXY’s momentum is high (volatility rising) and certain momentum tests on the market-wide or sector ETFs pass, the strategy selects the Dividends basket. This basket contains dividend-oriented, lower-volatility ETFs (SCHG, QQQH, DGRO, SCHD), aiming for income and relatively steadier performance. - If instead the momentum tests show oversold or cheap conditions on several levered growth vehicles (for example, readings where some aggressive ETFs are not overbought and have room to bounce), the strategy selects the Pop Bot basket. This basket uses highly levered ETFs (SPXL, TQQQ, SOXL) to try to capture large, short-term upside when conditions rebound. - There is also a separate branch (BSC) tied to a volatility view via VIX-related exposure (VIXM) and a focus on SPXL, used as a volatility-tilted guardrail or decision cue. - Rebalancing is set with a 2% corridor but the plan shows “rebalance: none,” meaning the system does not frequently rebalance unless a new signal fully switches baskets. The entire framework is asset-class: equities, with an emphasis on tactical rotation rather than a static buy-and-hold. - It uses a mix of RSI windows (10 or 21 days) and thresholds (numbers like 65, 79, 30, 80) to decide when a condition is met. RSI simply measures recent price momentum (extremely high values imply recent moves up; very low values imply recent moves down). Levered ETFs carry high risk and can experience large drawdowns during normal market regimes, especially if held for long periods. - Overall, the approach is designed to go defensive into dividend exposure when volatility spikes and momentum is elevated, and to swing into aggressive, leveraged bets when there are signals of a potential bounce after oversold conditions. It is a tactical, short-to-intermediate horizon approach, not a long-term buy-and-hold strategy.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample upside with disciplined risk: ~52% annualized return vs ~20% for the S&P, Sharpe ~1.18 vs ~1.03, Calmar ~3.0, via tactical dividend/levered-bet rotation. Higher drawdown (~17.4% vs ~16.2%) is the price for big upside.

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.
