About

Shifts to a 3× inverse S&P 500 ETF during volatility spikes; otherwise holds the two least‑volatile YieldMax option‑income ETFs tied to Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, and AMD. Aims to defend in sell‑offs and collect income in calmer markets; rebalanced daily.
NutHow it works
Each day, check VIXM (an ETF linked to market fear). If its 40‑day RSI—a 0–100 momentum/overheating gauge—is above 69, buy SPXU (an ETF that targets ~3× the opposite of the S&P 500 each day). Otherwise, hold the two calmest YieldMax single‑stock option‑income ETFs among APLY (Apple), MSFO (Microsoft), NVDY (Nvidia), AMDY (AMD), based on lowest 10‑day volatility. Split equally; rebalance daily. Sector tilt: mega‑cap tech when calm; market short in spikes. Risks: SPXU is very volatile; YieldMax funds cap upside and can still fall.
CheckmarkValue prop
Defensive, income-focused strategy: oos return 20.8% vs SPY 23.4%, oos max drawdown 21.9% vs 18.8%, oos Sharpe ~1.07, beta ~0.86. Uses SPXU in spikes and two low-vol mega-cap ETFs to hedge risk and generate steady income.

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.
