About

Aggressive, rules-based tech strategy: own 3× Nasdaq (TQQQ) when trends look healthy; otherwise step aside to cash, inverse QQQ, volatility funds, or Treasuries. Many safety checks aim to capture big gains while cutting deep drawdowns.
NutHow it works
Goal: ride big tech uptrends using TQQQ (a 3× Nasdaq-100 fund), but bail out fast when danger pops up. Each day it checks: is the market in an uptrend (price above long‑term average)? Are prices “hot” or “cold” (a speedometer called RSI)? Is volatility rising or falling? If good, it holds TQQQ; if not, it shifts to cash (BIL), inverse Nasdaq (PSQ/SQQQ), volatility hedges (VIXY/UVXY), or Treasuries (TLT/IEF). It blends many small rule-sets and picks steadier recent winners.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy delivers ~78.9% annualized return, Sharpe ~1.54 and Calmar ~2.31, far above the S&P 500's ~23.2% return and ~1.32 Sharpe. It rides tech uptrends with dynamic hedges - yet note higher potential drawdowns and costs.

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.
