About

Daily, all-in strategy that jumps between: TQQQ (3x big‑tech) when it looks washed out, UVXY (fear/volatility) when tech looks overheated, and BIL (T‑Bills) otherwise. Aims to scalp extremes; high risk when in TQQQ/UVXY.
NutHow it works
Each day it looks at a 0–100 gauge (RSI) of how fast TQQQ—a fund trying to move 3x the Nasdaq‑100 (big tech)—has risen or fallen in ~10 days. If that gauge is very low (<23), it buys TQQQ, betting on a bounce. If it’s very high (>81), it buys UVXY—a fund that jumps when market fear (VIX) spikes—betting on a pullback. Otherwise it parks in BIL, a cash‑like T‑Bill fund. It switches as signals change.
CheckmarkValue prop
Dynamic 3-asset strategy (TQQQ/UVXY/BIL) times extremes for upside with controlled risk. OOS Calmar 8.85 and max drawdown ~5.7% show strong risk-adjusted returns and lower downside than the S&P 500 (Sharpe ~1.12).

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.
