About

Aggressive, daily, regime-switching plan: ride TQQQ in clear tech uptrends; in panics or weak trends pivot to hedges (BTAL/DBMF) or short-lived volatility spikes (UVXY/VIXY). Uses simple heat, trend, and bond-vs-stock signals.
NutHow it works
Each day it picks one fund: TQQQ (3x Nasdaq-100), BTAL (defensive long-low/short-high beta), DBMF (managed futures), UVXY/VIXY (volatility hedges), or SPY. It reads simple gauges: RSI (0–100 “hot/cold” score), moving-average trends, and recent drops. Overheated or whiplash weeks push it into UVXY/VIXY or BTAL/DBMF; clear uptrends keep it in TQQQ; murky trends use bond-vs-stock strength to pick TQQQ vs BTAL.

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.
