About

Keep most money in T‑bills, and use a small tactical sleeve to ride tech uptrends with TQQQ, hedge when overheated, and flip to inverse tech or Treasuries in downtrends. Uses simple trend and RSI signals; rebalanced daily.
NutHow it works
About 85% stays in short‑term T‑bills (BIL) for stability. The other ~15% is a daily‑managed sleeve. It rides tech with TQQQ in uptrends unless prices look “too hot” (RSI near 80), then it briefly hedges with UVXY. In downtrends it may try quick rebounds (TECL/UPRO) or go defensive with SQQQ (inverse tech) or TLT (long Treasuries). Trend = price vs 200/20‑day averages; RSI is a 0–100 heat meter.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: Sharpe 1.59 vs SPY 1.05; max drawdown 8.3% vs 18.8%; Calmar 2.01. A cash-like core with a small tactical sleeve targets tech upside while limiting losses—stronger risk-adjusted growth than 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.
