About

A daily rotation that swings between 3x stock funds (UPRO/TQQQ), a 3x Treasury hedge (TMF), or T‑Bills (BIL). In bears it buys sharp dips; in bulls it runs a 55/45 levered stock‑bond barbell. Uses volatility and simple “hot/cold” checks. Very high risk.
NutHow it works
Each day it chooses among: 3x S&P 500 (UPRO), 3x Nasdaq‑100 (TQQQ), a 3x long‑Treasury hedge (TMF), or T‑Bills (BIL). It checks: market “bounceiness” (recent volatility), whether stocks look hot/cold (a quick ‘strength’ score called RSI), if we’re in a bear phase (big prior drop), and if there’s a sharp 5‑day dip to buy. It blends fast and slow versions and avoids chasing big 1‑day pops.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: ~50% annualized return vs ~22% for the S&P, Calmar near 1, Sharpe ~1.15. Uses a stock/bond barbell and dip-buying logic for higher upside with disciplined risk—suitable for risk-tolerant investors seeking stronger alpha than the S&P.

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.
