About

A daily “switchboard” that flips between leveraged growth (TQQQ/UPRO), long bonds (TMF), defensive stocks (XLP), cash, or short tech (QID/PSQ) using trend (200‑day) and RSI. Equal‑weight mix of best/safest/high‑vol mini‑systems. Very high risk.
NutHow it works
Each day, a “switchboard” chooses what to own. It checks trend (price vs 200‑day average) and a heat gauge called RSI (0–100: >80 very hot, <30 washed‑out). • In uptrends: favor TQQQ (3x Nasdaq) or UPRO (3x S&P). • In downtrends: rotate to XLP (staples), cash (BIL/SHV), or short tech (QID/PSQ). • If stocks look too hot: jump to long bonds (TMF 3x). If very weak: buy the dip. It splits money equally across 3 chosen mini‑systems (best recent, safest, and one high‑vol). Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return ~39.5% vs S&P ~21.7%, with Calmar ~1.08 and Sharpe ~1.06. A daily regime-switching mix targeting high-growth upside while using bonds/defensives as built-in risk controls.

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.
