About

A cautious, multi-timeframe, triple-leveraged fund surfing system. It mostly uses UPRO/TQQQ for growth, TMF for additional tilt, and BIL as a cash hedge. It buys dips, checks market breadth, and shifts between risk-on leverage and risk-off cash to manage drawdown risk.
NutHow it works
- The strategy mostly uses three-times-leveraged ETFs for growth bets (UPRO and TQQQ) to capture strong market moves. It also uses TMF (3x long Treasuries) as a hedge in some setups. For safety, it includes cash-like instruments (BIL) to avoid tax-forms and provide liquidity. - It looks at different time windows (roughly 14, 21, 28, and 35 days) to decide whether to be in “risk-on” mode (own leverage ETFs) or “risk-off” (own cash proxies). - Dip checks (Nasdaq 100, S&P 500) try to confirm that a leg of the market is still in a healthy uptrend before adding or keeping leverage. If dips are detected and signals align, the strategy adds exposure to equities with leverage; if not, it moves toward BIL as a safety anchor. - Signals combine trend checks, relative strength (how one asset compares to another), and volatility indicators, updated on several rolling windows (from 1 day up to 252 days). - The system uses a mix of rules that balance growth and risk, with explicit risk controls like drawdown thresholds and standard deviation checks. - It remains explicit about risk: high leverage magnifies both gains and losses, and the rules include transitions to safer assets when risk metrics show deterioration.

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.
