About

A daily, rule-based, highly-levered mix of volatility hedges, bear/short bets, and turbocharged long bets on tech/semi sectors, driven by RSI and trend signals to switch between risk-on and risk-off modes. High risk but potentially large short-term gains.
NutHow it works
- Every day, the system scans signals (market mood, momentum, and trend) to decide which big idea should lead. It uses a short-term momentum gauge (RSI) to gauge overbought/oversold and selects 1 instrument from each idea based on its recent performance. - If the market looks stretched to the upside (overbought) or stressed (risk-off signals), it moves toward volatility hedges (UVIX or VIXY) and/or bear bets to profit from a pullback. - If signals look constructive (risk-on), it tilts into levered long bets in tech and semiconductors (TECL, TQQQ, SOXL, SPXL, UPRO, QLD) with a preference for the best of the group. - There are defensive blocks that shift into bond or treasury-based instruments (TMF, TMV, SHY, AGG, etc.) when longer-term trends soften. - The weights within a chosen scenario are usually set to 100% for the selected bets, and the whole portfolio is rebalanced daily. - The system uses longer-term trend checks (210/360-day moving averages/EMAs) to decide whether to favor risk-off defenses or remain in risk-on bets. - Because many bets are levered (2x or 3x), movements can be dramatic in either direction. This is a high-risk, high-reward approach intended for experienced traders.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~58% annualized return vs SPY ~21%, with adaptive hedges and levered tech bets that switch with market regimes. Strong upside and solid risk control (Calmar ~1.10), but expect larger drawdowns (~53%).

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.
