About

A daily, one-ETF strategy that buys 3x tech or 3x S&P on deep sell-offs or short-term strength, and otherwise parks in the most sold-off defensive bond/staples/utilities fund. Signals use simple moving averages and RSI.
NutHow it works
Daily it checks trend and stretch. Trend: is a tech-heavy fund (TQQQ) rising (10-day avg > 100-day)? Stretch: RSI, a 0–100 score of recent moves (low = sold off). If uptrend and tech is very sold, buy TECL (3x tech). Otherwise hold the most sold-off defensive fund (bonds/staples/utilities). If downtrend and SPY is very sold, buy UPRO (3x S&P). Else, if TQQQ > its 20-day avg, buy TQQQ (3x Nasdaq); else use defensive. One ETF at a time; daily rebalance.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy posts Sharpe ~5 vs SPY ~1.4, annualized return ~151% vs ~15%, and smaller drawdowns (~2.46% vs ~2.53%), with Calmar ~61, delivering dramatically higher risk-adjusted growth than 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.
