About

A daily, rules‑based swing/trend strategy: park in T‑bills when markets are overheated, buy 3× tech/market on sharp dips, and otherwise follow the S&P 500’s trend—using KMLM and Treasury strength to flip between 3× tech bulls and their inverses.
NutHow it works
Each day it picks among: cash‑like T‑bills (BIL), 3× bullish tech/semis (TQQQ/TECL/SOXL/SPXL), or their 3× inverse (SQQQ/TECS/SOXS), plus QQQ/QLD/BTAL at times. Steps: 1) If markets look “too hot” on a short‑term heat meter (RSI>79), go to BIL. 2) If “very cold” (RSI<30), buy 3× bulls for a bounce. 3) Else use the S&P 500’s 200‑day average: above = uptrend → ride 3× tech/semis unless a diversified trend fund (KMLM) flags risk‑off; below = downtrend → prefer inverse tech (PSQ/SQQQ), sometimes long QQQ/TQQQ if Treasuries look stronger than “short stocks.” Rebalances daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: ~50.6% annualized vs ~21.6% for the S&P; Calmar ~1.24 with higher drawdown (~41%). Captures tech/semis upside, uses RSI heat and BIL protection with daily rebalancing for a tactical edge over the S&P 500.

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.
