About

A three‑part portfolio: a small TQQQ/volatility trader, a big 6‑month momentum core across stocks/bonds/gold/dollar/commodities/cash, and a dip‑buyer that normally runs TQQQ+long‑bonds but turns defensive when markets wobble.
NutHow it works
Three sleeves. 1) 20%: Uses a 200‑day average (long‑term trend) and a 10‑day “hot/cold” score (RSI: 0=cold, 100=hot; >80 very hot, <30 very cold) to flip between TQQQ, volatility (UVXY), or safety. 2) 45%: Buys the 2 best 6‑month performers among stocks, bonds, gold, dollar, commodities, or T‑bills. 3) 35%: Buys TQQQ on sharp, oversold dips; otherwise runs a balanced TQQQ+long‑bond mix, and shifts to defensive assets when stress rises.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~40% annualized return vs 22% S&P, Sharpe ~1.44 vs ~1.40, Calmar ~2.0. A 3-sleeve mix (trend, cross-asset momentum, dip-buying) targets tech gains with hedges and diversification—more upside, with drawdown control.

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.
