About

A regime-switching, multi-asset strategy that blends safe, bond-like positions with aggressive, leveraged bets on tech/semiconductors and volatility when signals look favorable, and shifts to defense when risk rises. It uses RSI and moving-average rules to pick and time its bets, aiming for high annual returns with built-in risk management.
NutHow it works
- The system continuously evaluates a large pool of ETFs across stocks, bonds, commodities, currencies, and volatility. - It uses a decision-tree of rules, driven by momentum indicators (RSI) and price/average-price relationships, to decide which regime the market is in: risk-on (growth) or risk-off (defensive). - Within each regime, it ranks candidate assets by recent performance metrics (moving-average-return, cumulative-return) and selects the best one or few assets to hold, often with a full (100%) weight. - It employs leveraged growth bets (e.g., 2x/3x ETFs like TECL, SOXL, TQQQ, UPRO) when signals align to maximize upside, and it uses volatility hedges (UVXY) or bear/inverse funds (SQQQ, SPXS, SOXS) to profit from or protect against regime shifts. - The defensive blocks focus on bond proxies (SHY, BIL, UST-related ETFs), cash-like safety, and protective positions like TMF/TMV, GLD, and UUP to reduce drawdown in risk-off environments. - Signals are time-windowed (days-based) and may reference cross-asset strength comparisons (e.g., bond ETFs vs equity-based ETFs), creating a regime-aware, tactical allocation rather than a static, buy-and-hold approach. - Overall aim: achieve a high annual return by capturing momentum in growth assets during favorable markets while preserving capital and reducing risk during downturns through a structured defensive and volatility-aware framework.
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.
