About

Buy 3× tech only when the Nasdaq’s short‑term momentum looks washed out (RSI ≤ 32). Otherwise, sit in a defensive blend of U.S. dollar, gold, and consumer‑staples stocks.
NutHow it works
It watches a 10‑day RSI on TQQQ (a fund that moves 3× with big U.S. tech/growth). RSI is a 0–100 gauge of recent losses vs gains; low = “washed out.” If RSI ≤ 32: go 100% TECL (a 3× tech fund) to try to catch a rebound. Else: hold equal parts USDU (U.S. dollar), GLD (gold), and XLP (consumer‑staples).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return ≈ 31.9% vs SPX ≈ 21.9%. A tactical 3x-tech overlay triggers on oversold signals, then shifts to a defensive 3-asset sleeve. Higher drawdowns, but Calmar ≈ 1.15 signals strong upside per unit of risk.

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.
