About

A daily, two-variant leveraged strategy that blends aggressive 3x longs (UPRO/TQQQ) with hedges (BIL) and sector plays (SOXS/TECL/TECS), using dip-buy and momentum signals, plus risk checks, all in a K-1 friendly, backtested framework.
NutHow it works
- Each day, the system checks a network of signals (momentum, volatility, drawdown risk) to decide where to allocate. - When signals indicate favorable momentum, it leans into 3x long leveraged ETFs (like UPRO and TQQQ) to magnify upside. - When risk rises or drawdown checks trigger, it shifts toward safer assets (mainly BIL, a short-term cash-like ETF) and applies hedges. - Occasional bear/tech-themed plays (SOXS, TECL, TECS, etc.) are considered to capture sector bets or hedging in volatile times. - Dip-buy logic looks for meaningful pullbacks in major indices (Nasdaq 100, S&P 500) to time entries into leveraged bets or hedges. - The design favors ETFs with no K-1 tax form for simpler tax reporting. - The two main variants (V4 and V5) offer different risk/return profiles, with V5 described as a more cautious, longer-backtest variant, and V4 as the more aggressive, higher-growth approach integrated into a blended framework.

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.
