About

Daily, SPY-driven, risk-on/off strategy using RSI momentum screens to select and weight equities, with Nasdaq leverage overlays and an oil/bond hedge for risk control.
NutHow it works
- Daily rebalance to switch between risk-on and risk-off baskets based on SPY’s recent drawdown and its relation to a long-term average. - Risk-on: pick eight assets from a broad universe using the lowest 20-day RSI (momentum signal) and allocate evenly across them. - Risk-off: pick six assets from a separate pool using a slightly different RSI screen (shorter window) and allocate evenly. - Nasdaq overlays: optional layers that tilt exposure to Nasdaq via leveraged ETFs (e.g., TQQQ, SQQQ) when momentum/price signals align, with separate sub-strategies for “Buy the Dips Nasdaq” style play. - Long-term Nasdaq overlays: additional blocks (QLD/TQQQ themes) intended for longer-horizon Nasdaq exposure with their own momentum checks. - Oil/Bond hedge: a dedicated module that can add DBO (oil) and bond ETFs (SHY, BSV) to reduce risk during inflation/rate concerns or market stress. - Weights are generally equal within each selected group; the system uses SPY’s drawdown and moving-average signals as the gating condition for participation. - Goal: invest in a diversified, rule-driven basket when conditions are favorable, while hedging and diversifying risk during tougher times.
CheckmarkValue prop

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.
