About

Aggressive daily system that buys 3x tech/stock ETFs on sharp dips, hedges when markets look overheated, and shifts to cash or defensive funds in downtrends. Very high risk due to leverage and volatility products.
NutHow it works
It trades daily to catch quick rebounds and avoid rough patches. It watches a 0–100 “hot/cold” meter (RSI): under 30 = washed out, over 80 = overheated. On dips it buys fast‑moving 3x funds (TQQQ, SPXL, SOXL, TECL). When overheated or fear rises, it hedges with UVXY or parks in cash‑like bonds (BIL/BSV) or SQQQ. A smaller sleeve follows bigger trends—owning TQQQ in bull markets and defensive funds (USDU, XLP, XLU, XLE, SHY) in bear markets—sized by recent volatility.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample upside is compelling: ~56.5% annualized vs SPY ~22.5%, with a Calmar ~1.60. Captures rapid tech rebounds and disciplined hedging; expect larger drawdowns in dips. Not a passive, buy-and-hold approach.

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.
