About

A daily, bitcoin-guided switch that buys leveraged stock ETFs (SPXL/TQQQ) when bitcoin’s trend is strong and not overheated, parks in T-bills (BIL) otherwise, and sometimes adds a bearish S&P bet (SPXS) via a simple stocks-vs-bonds check.
NutHow it works
Each day it reads two bitcoin trackers (GBTC = spot ETF, BITO = futures ETF). It checks trend (price vs recent averages) and whether the move is too hot (RSI: a 0–100 “speedometer”; high = overheated). If bitcoin’s trend looks strong and not overheated, it buys aggressive stock funds: SPXL (S&P 500) and/or TQQQ (Nasdaq‑100). If not, it holds BIL (T‑bills). A side rule may short the S&P (SPXS) or buy SPXL based on a simple stocks‑vs‑bonds strength check.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this Bitcoin-driven strategy beats the S&P on risk-adjusted returns: ~23.7% annualized vs 20.6%; max drawdown ~13.8% vs 18.8%; Sharpe ~1.43 vs ~1.22. Higher upside with disciplined cash/leveraged exposure.

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.
