About

A daily, rule-based strategy that bets on a Bitcoin/crypto uptrend: if BITO shows short-term strength, allocate 30% to the single top crypto-related asset from a curated list (based on 3-day momentum); the rest stays in cash (BIL). If signals weaken, move to cash entirely. Rebalances daily.
NutHow it works
- Every day, check BITO (Bitcoin Strategy ETF) against its short-term trend. If BITO is above its 20-day moving average (a rough measure of short-term strength), proceed to the crypto-exposure step. If not, stay in cash (BIL). - If signal is positive, look at the curated crypto list (COIN, RIOT, MARA, MSTR, plus several crypto ETFs and miners). - From that list, evaluate the last 3 days of performance and pick the single asset with the strongest momentum (the top by 3-day moving-return). - Allocate 30% of the total portfolio to that single asset. The remaining 70% is placed in cash-like holdings (BIL, a short-term U.S. Treasuries ETF). - The rules are re-applied every trading day, so the top asset and the cash vs crypto mix can change as signals change. - If the initial BITO-based checks fail, the strategy routes entirely to cash (BIL) or to other predefined cash equivalents according to the nested conditions. - Assets included under HODL BTC cover direct crypto exposure (COIN, MARA, RIOT, etc.), miners, and crypto ETFs (BITQ, BITS, BITO, BTF, BITF, IBLC, MAXI, IREN). - This is a speculative, high-risk approach: it’s not diversified, relies on short-term momentum, and aims to exploit a bullish phase in crypto with a risk-controlled cash buffer. - Practical note: Tickers represent a mix of direct crypto exposure (coins/miners), fund- or ETF-based crypto bets, and a cash proxy (BIL). Always verify ticker definitions and ensure you understand what each asset owns before using in real money. - Example scenario: If BITO is above its 20-day MA and the 3-day momentum favors COIN, the system places 30% of the portfolio into COIN and keeps 70% in BIL. If BITO weakens and fails the signals, you shift towards 100% BIL according to the nested rules.
CheckmarkValue prop
Crypto-momentum strategy with a cash hedge: 30% to the top crypto on bullish signals, 70% to cash; otherwise fully in cash. Out-of-sample: ~19.6% annualized return, ~0.62 Sharpe, higher drawdowns than the S&P—diversifies with crypto exposure.

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.
