About

A daily, tactical mix that times aggressive 3× stock funds (TQQQ/UPRO) and pairs them with 3× long bonds (TMF) when trends look healthy; otherwise it hides in T‑bills (BIL), buys sharp dips, or briefly hedges (SOXS). Very active and high risk.
NutHow it works
Rebalances daily and blends 3 rule-sets. - TQQQ=3× Nasdaq 100; UPRO=3× S&P 500; TMF=3× long US Treasuries; BIL=T‑bills (cash‑like); SHY=1–3yr Treasuries; SOXS=3× inverse semis. It checks strength of stocks vs bonds, how jumpy prices are, and recent drops/spikes. If healthy, it holds TQQQ/UPRO (often 55% stocks + 45% TMF). If weak or too jumpy, it parks in BIL, buys sharp dips briefly, or hedges with SOXS.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return ~52.5% vs S&P 22.3%; Calmar ~1.18, Sharpe ~1.24. Higher drawdowns (~44%) but potentially far greater upside from tactical 3x stock bets with bond hedges—best for bold growth seekers.

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.
