About

A daily, regime-driven tactical allocator that uses UVXY-based volatility gating and RSI/momentum signals to switch between leveraged tech/basket bets in bullish regimes and defensive/bond cash in riskier regimes; selects a small set of assets per regime through ranking and filters, aiming for growth in favorable markets while limiting drawdown in adverse ones.
NutHow it works
In plain terms: every day the system asks, “What kind of market are we in?” using momentum signals (RSI) on a basket of market proxies and a volatility gauge (UVXY). If the signals say the market is favorable (a Bullish Market Conditions regime), the model selects a small set of high-mgrowth, levered tech/semiconductor exposures (roughly top picks based on recent price momentum) to own that day. If signals warn of risk (Danger Market Conditions), it shifts toward safer bets (short- to intermediate-term bonds, cash, and hedges). In Normal market, a balanced mix of bond and defensive ETFs is used to moderate risk while seeking return. The actual assets are chosen through a ranking/filter process (e.g., picking the top/bottom 1-2 assets by moving-average price or cumulative return). The system rebalances daily, so holdings can rotate as signals change. The approach emphasizes: (a) using UVXY as a volatility gate, (b) using momentum indicators on a broad set of ETFs to determine regime, and (c) picking a small number of assets per regime to avoid over-trading while trying to capture trend moves. Important caveat: it relies on leveraged ETFs (e.g., TQQQ, TECL) which can be highly volatile and are intended for short-horizon trading; risk controls and diversification across regimes are essential in practice.

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.
