About

A daily, rules‑based TQQQ strategy with many safety rails: ride tech uptrends, hedge or de‑risk when overbought, buy dips when deeply oversold, and retreat to bonds or cash in selloffs. Uses filters to favor winners but cap drawdowns.
NutHow it works
Goal: ride tech uptrends, cut losses fast, and hide in safe assets when risk spikes. - When the market is healthy (broad index above its 200‑day average) and short‑term strength beats long‑term strength, it holds 3x tech bulls (mainly TQQQ; sometimes TECL/SOXL/UPRO). - If things look overbought, it adds a volatility hedge (VIXY/UVXY) or steps down risk (PSQ). - If prices get very oversold (RSI ~30 or lower), it buys the dip in 3x bulls. - If trend breaks (e.g., TQQQ drops under its 20‑day average) it flips to inverse QQQ (SQQQ) or Treasuries (TLT/IEF), whichever is acting stronger; big drops kick it to T‑bills (BIL). - A selector prefers recent winners but avoids the most volatile or biggest drawdowns. RSI is a simple “speedometer” of recent price moves: high=hot, low=cold.

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.
