About

Daily, it gauges trend using a tech-heavy fund. It buys 3x tech or 3x S&P only on clear oversold bounces or short-term strength; otherwise it parks in a single defensive ETF (bonds, staples, or utilities), picking the most beaten-down one.
NutHow it works
- First, it checks the short-term vs long-term trend of a fast-moving tech fund (TQQQ) by comparing its 10-day average price to its 100-day average. - If the short-term trend is stronger (10-day > 100-day): • If tech looks washed out (TQQQ’s momentum gauge, RSI, is under ~32), it buys a 3x technology fund (TECL) for a rebound. • Otherwise, it moves to safety and chooses one “defensive” ETF (bonds, consumer staples, or utilities), picking the single one that looks most beaten down short term (lowest RSI). - If the short-term trend is weaker (10-day ≤ 100-day): • If the overall market (S&P 500) looks extremely oversold (RSI under ~31), it buys a 3x S&P 500 fund (UPRO) for a rebound attempt. • Otherwise, if tech is perking up a bit (TQQQ above its 20‑day average), it buys TQQQ (3x Nasdaq). • If not, it parks in one defensive ETF, again picking the most beaten-down one among bonds/staples/utilities. - It holds only one ETF at a time and rechecks daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Surprisingly strong risk-adjusted edge: OOS Sharpe ~3.55 vs SPY ~3.53, Calmar ~62, and modest drawdowns, plus outsized OOS return. The strategy tactically exploits tech-led rebounds and defensive rotations, unlike the S&P.

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.
