About

A daily-rebalanced, momentum-driven mix of 3x leveraged equity funds and hedges (UVXY/SQQQ) guided by short-term RSI and a SPY price-vs-200-day check, with equal-weight allocation among signals. High risk due to leverage and rapid rotations.
NutHow it works
- Purpose: capture short-term momentum in aggressively leveraged ETFs while using hedges during risk-off periods. It also uses a market-state check (SPY relative to its 200-day moving average) to avoid outright exposure when the market trend looks weak. - Signals used: short-term momentum indicators (RSI over a 10-day window) on various assets, plus a price check against a long-term average to gauge whether the market is in a bullish phase. - Asset set: includes 3x leveraged equity ETFs (TQQQ, SPXL, TECL), an inverse/volatility ETF (SQQQ and UVXY), and a bond ETF (BSV) for ballast. SPY is used as a reference for the long-term trend. - How decisions are made: the strategy starts with an equal-weight cash allocation among the selected signals and then applies a sequence of conditional tests (if/else) to decide which asset to hold. In some branches, the strongest momentum signal (measured by RSI) drives a long position; in other branches, risk-off conditions push allocation toward hedges like UVXY/SQQQ or toward bonds. - Rebalancing: performed daily, so positions can shift quickly as momentum and market state change. - Expectation: aim for upside when momentum is favorable while protecting against sharp downturns with hedges, at the cost of higher drawdowns during choppy periods due to leverage. - Warnings: Leveraged ETFs magnify gains and losses; frequent trading increases costs and risks. This is not a simple buy-and-hold strategy and relies on specific momentum and trend signals. Use with understanding of the risks and suitability to your risk tolerance.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: Sharpe 1.36, Calmar 1.78, and ~91% annualized return vs SPY’s ~18%. Momentum-driven, leveraged rotation with hedges aims for big upside, but expect larger drawdowns (~51%) in risk-off periods.

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.
