About

A daily-regime, multi-asset tactical strategy that picks a single, often leveraged ETF to own based on a web of RSI and momentum signals. It rotates between growth-oriented bets (3x ETFs for tech/semis), volatility hedges, and bond/cash defenses to chase trends while trying to guard against drawdowns. It's aggressive and highly levered.
NutHow it works
Plain-language description of how it operates: 1) Every day the system tests many signals to decide which market regime (overbought, oversold, defensive, bear/ inflationary) is most persuasive. 2) Within the chosen regime, it scans a set of candidate ETFs (stocks, bonds, volatility, commodities) and ranks them using momentum-type rules (momentum, RSI, moving averages). 3) It picks a single asset that best fits the regime (often a 3x leveraged ETF for growth or a hedge) and allocates the entire position to that asset. 4) It rebalances daily, so today’s pick may be different from yesterday’s based on fresh signals. 5) The asset mix covers stocks (broad and tech/semis), bonds, volatility proxies, and a few commodities/currency exposures, to capture diverse regime moves. 6) It uses hedges (volatility ETFs like UVXY, VIXY) and defensive assets (short-term Treasuries, cash proxies) to limit drawdowns when risk spikes. 7) Because many picks are 3x leveraged ETFs, the approach aims for big gains in favorable regimes but carries high risk of large losses in choppy markets.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~62% annualized return vs SPY ~24%, driven by daily regime-driven, high-conviction bets (often 3x levered) with hedges. Captures big upside while aiming for disciplined risk management versus the S&P 500.

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.
