About

Moves into 3x Nasdaq (TQQQ) when bonds and credit look okay; otherwise holds whichever is stronger: Treasuries (IEF), gold (GLD), or the US dollar (UUP). Very aggressive in risk‑on mode.
NutHow it works
1) Check bonds vs cash: if 60‑day BND (bonds) beats BIL (T‑bills), backdrop is “risk on”; else go defensive. 2) If risk on and credit (HYG junk bonds) hasn’t fallen >2% over 45 days or is at least flat over 2 days, buy TQQQ (3x Nasdaq‑100). 3) Otherwise, hold the best of IEF (7–10y Treasuries), GLD (gold), or UUP (US dollar) over 45 days. Note: your text says UPRO (3x S&P); this version uses TQQQ.
CheckmarkValue prop
Dynamic risk-on Nasdaq-3x with a defensive sleeve. OOS: ~20% annualized return vs S&P, diversified across bonds/gold/USD; potential tech-driven upside, but higher drawdowns (~54%) and lower risk-adjusted return.

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.
