About

A daily switchboard that selects the best recent playbook, then uses trendlines and a hot/cold gauge to toggle between 3x tech stocks (TQQQ/UPRO/ROM), Treasuries (TMF), shorts (QID), or cash‑like bonds. Heavy Tech/Treasuries tilt; very aggressive.
NutHow it works
Each day it picks 1 playbook that’s been strong recently with lower risk. That playbook then checks: long‑term trend (price vs 200‑day avg) and a “hot/cold” score (RSI). If uptrend or a sharp dip, it buys leveraged growth: TQQQ (3x Nasdaq), UPRO (3x S&P), ROM (2x Tech). If overheated, it parks in TMF (3x Treasuries). In downtrends it shifts to XLP (Staples), SHV/SHY/BSV/BIL (cash‑like), or shorts via QID (‑2x). Small tilts: QQQ, XLK, SPY, oil DBO, dollar UUP.
CheckmarkValue prop
Stronger upside with disciplined risk. Out-of-sample: ~41% annualized vs ~21.7% for the S&P, Calmar ~1.13. Leveraged tech in favorable regimes; shifts to Treasuries/cash when overheated.

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.
