About

Daily switch: buy 3× Nasdaq‑100 only when it’s deeply oversold (RSI<30); otherwise stay in short‑term T‑bills. High potential upside on rebounds, high risk when in TQQQ.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks a 10‑day RSI on QQQ (a big‑tech Nasdaq‑100 fund). RSI is a 0–100 gauge of recent ups vs downs; below 30 means “very beaten down.” If RSI < 30, it buys TQQQ (a 3× daily version of QQQ, very volatile). Otherwise it sits in BIL (short‑term T‑bills, cash‑like).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: 25.29% annualized vs SPY 22.43%; mostly in cash, only 3x Nasdaq-100 on deep dips. Calmar 1.12 signals solid risk-adjusted efficiency; drawdown higher (22.7% vs 18.8%), yet rebounds amplified.

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.
