About

Daily tactical blend that tries to ride uptrends, buy dips, and fade short‑term “pops” in tech/semis using 3x ETFs, shifting to T‑bills or Treasuries when risk rises. Very aggressive; expect big swings and frequent trades.
NutHow it works
Each day it blends 3 playbooks: (1) Ride stock trends with 3x S&P (UPRO) or 3x Nasdaq (TQQQ) and sometimes 3x Treasuries (TMF) when calm. (2) Buy sharp 5‑day drops; if a 1‑day rebound is huge, wait in T‑bills (BIL). (3) A short‑term “pop” module: fade overheated tech/semis (use SOXS), buy oversold (TECL/SOXL), else BIL. It uses simple gauges—RSI (0–100 “hot/cold”), volatility, and drawdowns—to flip risk on/off.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: Sharpe 1.51 vs 1.41; 63% vs 22% annualized; Calmar 1.50. A dynamic trend/mean-reversion approach with risk controls aims for bigger upside for aggressive, disciplined investors (accept higher drawdowns).

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.
