About

A daily rules-based system that rides tech uptrends with leveraged funds, buys sharp dips, and quickly shifts to cash, bonds, volatility hedges, or shorts when markets overheat or break trend. Includes oil, bond, and China mini-systems.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks simple signals to decide where to park money. - If the Nasdaq (QQQ) is rising and not too hot, it loads high‑octane tech like TQQQ (3x Nasdaq), TECL (3x Tech), SOXL (3x Semis). - If prices are overheated or break trend, it moves to cash‑like T‑Bills (SHV/BIL), safer bonds (TLT/BND), or hedges/shorts such as PSQ/SQQQ and UVXY (volatility). - Side sleeves trade oil (OILU/OILD), long bonds (TMF/TMV), and China (YINN/YANG). Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return ~39% vs SPY ~16%, Sharpe ~0.94 vs ~0.87, Calmar ~1.42. Higher alpha and risk-adjusted upside by trading tech/oil trends with guardrails—stronger, smarter upside than the S&P, with managed 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.
