About

A rules-based, high-octane strategy: use the S&P 500’s 200‑day trend to pick risk-on/off, then rotate among 3× tech bulls (TQQQ/TECL), inverse tech (SQQQ), volatility (UVXY), and bonds/defensives (BND/TLT/XLP) using short-term “heat” (RSI) and moving averages.
NutHow it works
Step 1 (trend): Is SPY below its 200‑day average? If yes (downtrend): 60% sits in broad bonds (BND) unless tech is very washed‑out, then 3× tech (TECL). The other 40% rotates among 3× bull, inverse tech (SQQQ), long Treasuries (TLT), or staples+bonds (XLP+BND) using short‑term “heat” (RSI) and QQQ vs its 20‑day average. If SPY is above that average (uptrend): 60% holds 3× Nasdaq (TQQQ) unless it looks extremely hot, then it switches to volatility (UVXY). RSI = 0–100 heat; MA = recent average price.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~87% annualized return with Sharpe ~1.39 and Calmar ~1.76, beating the S&P on risk-adjusted terms. Expect higher drawdowns (~49%), but disciplined regime-based rotations across tech, volatility, and bonds aim for bigger upside.

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.
