About

Aggressive market-timing centered on TQQQ. Keeps 20% cash and adds 20% Bitcoin in uptrends or 20% 3× Gold in downtrends. The core 60% flips among TQQQ, SQQQ, or VXX using moving-average trend and short-term RSI (hot/overbought vs cold/oversold).
NutHow it works
1) Check if the S&P 500 (SPY) is above its 150-day average. If yes: hold 20% Bitcoin (GBTC); if not: hold 20% 3× Gold (SHNY). Keep 20% cash. 2) The main 60%: If SPY > 200-day avg, hold 3× Nasdaq (TQQQ) unless it’s “too hot” (RSI(10)>~80), then use VXX (a fear gauge). If SPY <= 200-day avg, switch among TQQQ, 3× inverse Nasdaq (SQQQ) or GBTC using short-term RSI and TQQQ’s 20-day average. RSI=0–100 speedometer; >70 hot, <30 cold.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy targets higher growth than the S&P 500: ~42% annualized vs ~30%, with Calmar ~1.85. Note higher drawdowns (~23%), but a 20% cash buffer and hedges help manage risk while capturing upside.

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.
