About

Daily, it switches among 3x stock funds (UPRO/TQQQ), 3x long Treasuries (TMF), and T‑bills (BIL) using trend, volatility, and “buy‑the‑dip” rules—aiming to ride rallies while stepping aside in rough markets.
NutHow it works
Blends 3 parts: two “cautious surfing” models and a “TQQQ‑or‑not” timer. It rotates among 3x stock funds UPRO (S&P 500) and TQQQ (Nasdaq‑100), 3x long Treasuries TMF, and T‑bills BIL. Daily it checks trend, volatility, and recent drops in SPY/QQQ. In calm uptrends it runs ~55% stocks/45% bonds; when shaky it parks in BIL and only buys UPRO/TQQQ after ~5% 5‑day dips (unless a big same‑day bounce). A sub‑model times TQQQ, steps aside, or briefly hedges with UVXY. Leveraged = high risk.
CheckmarkValue prop
Strap into a tactical, trend-driven, 3x leveraged rotation that rides rallies and shields during drawdowns. Out-of-sample results show substantially higher potential returns than the S&P 500, with built-in risk controls - yet it carries higher volatility and drawdown risk.

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.
