About

A daily momentum-based tilt: if bonds show stronger short-term momentum than high-beta stocks, go long one top-ranked leveraged ETF; otherwise, lean heavily into one inverse/bear ETF to hedge.
NutHow it works
- Every day, the strategy decides between two moods: risk-on (buy a leveraged tech/growth/EM asset) or risk-off (buy a bear/inverse asset). - It uses a simple momentum check: compare the short-term momentum of a short-term treasury ETF (IEI) with the momentum of a high-beta equity ETF (SPHB) using a 7-day lookback. If IEI’s momentum is stronger (IEI RSI > SPHB RSI), the system goes into the long mood; otherwise it goes into the hedging mood. - Long mood: from a pool of seven long ETFs (TARK, TECL, UPRO, TMF, YINN, EDC, SOXX), it ranks them by how they’ve done recently (using a moving-average return over a 4-day window) within a 15-day lookback, and buys a single instrument with full allocation (100%). - Short mood: from a pool of five inverse/bear ETFs (SARK, PSQ, TMV, DRV, TYO), it ranks them the same way and buys a single instrument with 90% of the allocation. - Rebalancing happens daily, so the chosen instrument can change each day based on the latest ranking and signal. - The setup uses leverage-heavy vehicles, so results depend on precise timing and can be volatile. The plan intends to overweight cash only in a way implied by the 90/100 weight in the short leg and the 100/100 weight in the long leg, but overall it remains a highly directional, single-asset-at-a-time approach.

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.
