About

Daily, momentum-driven switcher across 3x equity ETFs. Holds the 3 strongest markets, sized by calmness. If fear spikes or after sharp drops, it moves to cash or a safe-haven mix (Treasuries, dollar, gold). High risk, actively managed.
NutHow it works
Daily it picks the 3 stock baskets rising the most: tech (TQQQ), S&P 500 (UPRO), Dow (UDOW), mid-caps (UMDD), small-caps (TNA), or emerging markets (EDC). Calmer picks get more weight. If fear (VIX funds) jumps, it parks in T-Bills (BIL). After sharp drops, if fear stays high, it shifts to Treasuries (IEF/TMF), the U.S. dollar (UUP), or gold (GLD). It also checks bond trends; weak bonds push it toward that mix. RSI is a 0–100 speed gauge. Uses 3x funds; very volatile.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample shows 20.64% annualized return vs 19.22% for SPY, with active risk controls that move to cash/safe havens during spikes in fear. Higher return potential with a disciplined, volatility-aware framework.

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.
