About

Aggressive, tech‑tilted strategy. Rides uptrends with 3x ETFs (TQQQ/SPXL/SOXL), hides in cash on volatility spikes, and rotates to hedges (SQQQ, bonds, gold, USD) when trends weaken. Daily rebalanced; positions sized by recent volatility.
NutHow it works
Aggressive, rules-based, rebalanced daily. In uptrends it uses 3x funds: TQQQ (Nasdaq‑100), SPXL (S&P 500), SOXL (semis), plus CURE or UTSL (both 3x). If volatility spikes (VIXM hot), park in BIL (T‑bills). SPY vs commodities picks bull (TQQQ mix) or bear (SQQQ). SVXY’s move sets how bold. When stocks fade, rotate to TMF/TLT (bonds), GLD (gold), PDBC (commodities), USDU (USD), SH (short S&P). Position sizes follow recent volatility.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~40% annualized return vs ~21% for the S&P; Sharpe ~1.36 vs 1.32; Calmar ~1.81. Higher upside with volatility-aware sizing and hedges—drawdowns may be larger in stress, but long-run risk-adjusted growth is stronger.

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.
