About

Aggressive, tech‑tilted, daily system that rides uptrends with 3× Nasdaq (TQQQ), flips to Treasuries when overheated, and defends in downtrends with staples/bonds or short Nasdaq (QID). A meta‑filter leans into the best‑recent sub‑strategy.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks trend (is SPY above its 200‑day average?) and short‑term “heat” via RSI, a 0–100 gauge: >80 = overheated, <30 = washed‑out. In uptrends it rides big tech with TQQQ (3× Nasdaq) and buys dips; if tech is too hot it jumps to TMF (3× long Treasuries). In downtrends it shifts to staples/bonds or shorts Nasdaq with QID. A switchboard favors the sub‑rules with the best recent risk/return.
CheckmarkValue prop
Tech-tilted, regime-switching strategy aimed at uptrends. OOS annualized return ~41% vs SPY ~21.7%; higher volatility/drawdowns (~36% vs ~19%). Suited for risk-tolerant investors chasing outsized growth with dynamic risk control.

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.
