About

A rules-driven, tech‑tilted mix that mostly parks in T‑Bills and selectively buys 3× stock ETFs (S&P 500, Nasdaq, Tech, Semis) when trends are calm or deeply oversold, with extra filters to avoid chasing spikes and to sidestep high‑fear periods.
NutHow it works
It’s a rule book that flips between cash-like T‑Bills (BIL) and 3× stock funds when odds look good. - RSI is a 0–100 gauge of how fast prices rose/fell; high = overheated, low = washed out. - Key funds: UPRO=3× S&P 500, TQQQ=3× Nasdaq‑100, TECL=3× Tech, SOXL=3× Semis, TMF=3× long Treasuries, TMV=3× short Treasuries, VIXY=fear gauge. - When volatility is calm, trends are up, and stocks beat bonds, it buys UPRO/TQQQ/TECL. After big pops or rising fear, it sits in BIL. On sharp selloffs, it scales in for rebounds.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this rule-based, tech-tilt strategy targets ~28% annualized returns with built-in cash hedges and risk controls, offering higher upside than SPY while preserving a similar risk profile.

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.
