About

60% rides tech with TQQQ when trends are favorable and steps to cash/hedges when overheated; 40% tactically flips between 3× long or short long‑term Treasuries (TMF/TMV) and defensive assets. Aims for growth with rules to cut risk.
NutHow it works
Two sleeves: 60% stocks, 40% bonds. It follows trend lines (price vs 200/20‑day averages) and RSI, a short‑term heat meter (high=too hot, low=washed out). Stocks: in uptrends, ride TQQQ (3× Nasdaq‑100). If it gets too hot or spikes, park in BIL (T‑bills) or hedge with SQQQ (3× inverse). In downtrends, buy only deep dips; else hedge/use Treasuries. Bonds: own TMF (3× long 20+yr Treasuries) when rising and not hot; else short via TMV (3× inverse) or rotate to defensive picks.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~38% annualized return vs SPY ~21%, Sharpe ~1.05, Calmar ~1.39, alpha ~0.10. Leverages tech with Treasuries hedges to pursue higher growth with risk control; note larger drawdowns can occur in stress vs the S&P 500.

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.
