About

Rides Nasdaq-100 uptrends with 3x TQQQ, steps to cash and long-vol when rallies get overheated, and in downtrends either buys an oversold rebound or holds a balanced pair of volatility funds to navigate market stress.
NutHow it works
1) Check if TQQQ (3x Nasdaq-100) is above its 200‑day average. If yes: hold TQQQ, unless its 10‑day RSI is above 80 (too hot), then switch to 50% VIXY (fear spikes) and 50% BIL (T‑Bills). 2) If TQQQ is below its 200‑day average: if its 10‑day RSI is below 30 (washed out), buy TQQQ; otherwise hold 50% VIXM (mid‑term VIX) and 50% SVXY (inverse short‑term VIX).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~65% annualized return with Calmar ~1.72 vs S&P ~23% return. Uses Nasdaq-100 momentum plus volatility hedges for higher upside and disciplined risk; expect larger drawdowns in stress.

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.
