About

Daily, trend-and-momentum rules. Mostly rides TQQQ (3x Nasdaq) in uptrends; shifts to UVXY if things look too hot. In downtrends, plays oversold bounces (TECL/UPRO) or rotates to SQQQ or TLT by strength. Very aggressive; big swings.
NutHow it works
Daily rules use two gauges: trend (price vs 200‑day average) and short‑term “heat” (10‑day RSI = recent buying vs selling). If the S&P 500 is in an uptrend, hold TQQQ (3x Nasdaq) unless heat is extreme; then switch to UVXY (volatility). If not in an uptrend, try oversold bounces via TECL (3x tech) or UPRO (3x S&P). If no bounce, hold SQQQ (‑3x Nasdaq) or TLT (Treasuries)—whichever is stronger. Uses leveraged funds; swings are large.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy targets far bigger upside and a stronger risk-adjusted edge than the S&P 500: Sharpe ~1.18 vs 1.06; annualized return ~76% vs ~19%; Calmar ~1.51. It rides tech rallies with hedges, delivering growth with managed risk.

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.
