About

A volatility-aware, momentum-rotator that concentrates on one top-performing asset among semis, chips, energy/commodities, and a leveraged market ETF, chosen by 90-day performance and triggered by a VIX-based volatility signal. Concentration risk is a key feature.
NutHow it works
- Monitor VIXM using a 40-day RSI to gauge volatility/market fear. If RSI > 69, trigger the rotation workflow. - Build a candidate pool of 7 assets: SOXX, NVDA, AMD, SSO, DBC, XLE, ENPH. - Rank these by their 90-day moving-average return (i.e., how much price has increased over the last 90 days). - Pick the top-ranked asset (the best performer in the last 90 days) and allocate 100% of capital to that single asset. - Rebalance only when the Rotator selects a new top asset, subject to a 5% allocation corridor (to avoid constant trading). - No calendar-based rebalancing is specified; action is event-driven by the Rotator signal. In plain terms: the system watches volatility, then looks at a list of potential bets (chips/semis, a big dual-levered market bet, commodities, energy, and solar tech). It picks the one that has performed best recently and bets everything on it, adjusting only when a new best option appears and a volatility signal is active.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this volatility-aware momentum rotator delivers ~67% annualized return vs ~23% for SPY, with solid risk control (Calmar ~1.49; Sharpe ~1.26). It targets the top performer to capture big upside with disciplined risk management.

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.
