About

Daily tactical strategy using 3x ETFs. If NASDAQ > 200‑day avg: hold TQQQ+FAS; if extremely hot: hedge with UVXY. If < 200‑day: buy oversold tech/biotech/semis for rebounds; else choose shorts (SQQQ+FAZ) or short‑term bonds. Very high risk.
NutHow it works
It watches TQQQ (a 3x NASDAQ‑100 fund) to read trend and “heat.” 200‑day avg = long‑term trend; 20‑day avg = short‑term trend. A 0–100 heat gauge (10‑day RSI) flags very hot (>79) or very cold (<31). In uptrends it holds TQQQ+financials unless it’s very hot—then it briefly hedges with UVXY. In downtrends it buys oversold tech/biotech/semis for rebounds; otherwise it either shorts (SQQQ+FAZ) or hides in short‑term bonds. Rebalances daily. Uses 3x funds—very high risk.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~81% annualized return vs ~19% SPY, Sharpe ~1.40 vs 1.07, Calmar ~2.79. Accept higher drawdowns (~29% vs ~19%) for markedly higher growth and improved risk-adjusted performance via diversified 3x ETFs.

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.
