About

A dense, regime-aware, daily-rebalanced system that anchors on SCHD/DBMF/KMLM for dividend income while dynamically adding leveraged and hedging ETFs to chase upside and limit losses across market regimes.
NutHow it works
This strategy runs every day and starts with a dividend stock core (SCHD, DBMF, KMLM) intended to be held long-term for income. Around that core, it chooses a mix of other ETFs (often leveraging tech, broad market, or volatility-related funds) based on a big decision tree. The tree looks at market signals like price trends, momentum, volatility, and relative strength to decide which assets to buy or reduce, and how much to weight them. It uses top/bottom ranking within groups to pick assets and then applies weights to determine exposure. It also uses hedges and skewed bets (like 3x leveraged ETFs and volatility products) to amplify upside when conditions look favorable while backing off when signals warn of risk. The system is designed to adapt to different market regimes (bullish, sideways, or bear) and to reduce leveraged risk by lowering exposure to the most aggressive bets. A no-K-1 version is planned; costs and taxes will depend on actual implementation. The intent is to maximize dividend income while maintaining a diversified, risk-managed growth profile. Familiar tickers included here ( SCHD, SCHG, DBMF, KMLM, SPY, QQQ, SOXL, TECL, TQQQ, SPXL, UPRO, UVXY, VIXY, SVXY, TMV, TMF, BIL, DBC, UUP, ARK-related ETFs ) reflect the blend of dividend focus, growth tilt, and macro hedges embedded in the tree. The exact rule-sets drive which assets are chosen day-by-day, and the weights adjust to emphasize or de-emphasize leveraged bets as market conditions evolve.

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.
