About

A daily, TQQQ‑centric strategy that rides tech uptrends, steps aside when the market looks overheated, and buys sharp dips. In weak or choppy markets it shifts to cash/gold or bonds, or hedges with inverse QQQ. Uses 3x ETFs, so risk is high.
NutHow it works
Goal: Ride tech uptrends, avoid overheated/weak phases, and buy sharp dips. - If TQQQ (3x Nasdaq-100) is above its 225-day average, hold it—unless RSI, a 0–100 “heat gauge,” is high; then park in cash (BIL) and gold (GLD). - If no uptrend, try brief rebounds only after a quick drop; else hold cash/gold or the strongest of TLT/BSV/GLD. - A second sleeve buys deep dips (TECL/SOXL/UPRO) and, in bad/choppy markets, hedges with inverse QQQ (PSQ/SQQQ) or shifts into steadier SPY/QQQ/DIA/XLP. Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: annualized return ~40.85% vs SPY ~21.88%, Calmar ~1.31. A tech-heavy, trend-following strategy with tactical hedges using 3x ETFs delivers stronger upside, albeit with higher drawdowns. Compelling risk-adjusted alpha.

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.
