About

A leveraged barbell: half in a 55/45 mix of 3x S&P 500 and 3x long Treasury bonds, a quarter in T‑bills, and a quarter split between 3x Nasdaq‑100 and 3x Semiconductors based on recent volatility. Tech‑heavy with a cash buffer.
NutHow it works
- 50% goes to a 55/45 mix of 3x S&P 500 (UPRO) and 3x long US Treasury bonds (TMF). - 25% stays in short‑term T‑bills (BIL) for stability. - 25% is split between 3x Nasdaq‑100 (TQQQ) and 3x Semiconductors (SOXL), giving more to the one that’s been less bumpy over the last ~90 days. - No routine rebalancing.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy targets higher upside: about 23.1% annualized vs 20.2% for the S&P. It blends a cash buffer with a tech/semiconductor tilt for growth—expect larger drawdowns (~39.7%) but potentially stronger long-run gains.

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.
