About

A daily, multi-layered tactical strategy using 3x leveraged ETFs to chase momentum in tech/semiconductors and related high-beta themes while sprinkling hedges (bonds, volatility) for risk control. It selects one top asset per group via filters, rebalances every day, and aims to stay K-1 free. High risk, high turnover.
NutHow it works
- The system runs every day and treats the portfolio as a collection of baskets focused on different themes (tech/semiconductors, high beta, defensive bonds, volatility). - It looks for price and momentum extremes using Bollinger-band style logic (price bands around recent averages) and momentum-style readings (a basic gauge of “has this asset been going up or down recently”). - For each theme, it ranks candidates using simple tests like: has the asset recently been strong or weak (momentum), did it perform well over a short past window, or is it far from its recent average (mean reversion). It then selects the strongest candidate from each group (often just 1 asset per group). - It creates long or short bets using 3x leveraged ETFs (e.g., SOXL and TECL for long bets on tech/semi, SQQQ and SOXS for short bets, TMF/TMV for long/short Treasuries, VXX for volatility hedges). - The chosen assets from different groups are blended with weights that emphasize certain themes and risk controls (some groups are cash-balanced, others are tilted toward the most favorable asset). - Risk controls try to avoid overly risky setups: if volatility spikes (VXX signals), if broad-market momentum is extreme, or if bond markets look vulnerable, the system shifts toward hedges or defense positions. - The strategy aims to be “K-1 Free” by selecting ETFs that do not generate K-1 tax forms. It rebalances daily, so positions can change quickly as the signals flip, and leverage magnifies both gains and losses. - In short: it’s a fast-moving, rule-based, levered ETF mix that tries to ride momentum in tech/semis and high-beta areas while stepping into defensive bonds and volatility hedges when risk signals hit, all without K-1 tax complexity.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy targets far higher upside than the S&P 500 (≈53% annualized vs 24%). It blends momentum with hedges and K-1‑free ETFs for growth and risk control—though expect larger drawdowns (~34% vs ~19%).

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.
