About

A daily, rules‑driven switcher around leveraged Nasdaq funds, inverse/volatility hedges, bonds, and cash. It rides tech uptrends, buys select deep dips, and steps aside or hedges when turbulence or macro warnings appear.
NutHow it works
Daily it toggles among TQQQ (3x Nasdaq‑100), SQQQ (‑3x), SOXL (3x semis), UVXY/VIXY (volatility), BIL (T‑Bills), BND (bonds), TLT/IEF (long/intermediate Treasuries), VTI (broad US), XLP (staples). It uses RSI (0–100 momentum), price vs 25‑day average (trend), recent drops (drawdown), and spike rules to switch risk on/off. Two sleeves are sized by inverse‑volatility; the calmer one gets more weight.
CheckmarkValue prop
Tech-led growth with disciplined risk controls. Out-of-sample annualized return ~31% vs ~20% for the S&P, and solid risk-adjusted metrics (Calmar ~0.97, Sharpe ~0.76). Higher upside with dynamic hedging and rotation.

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.
