About

Simple daily trend switch: if SPY is above its 200‑day average, hold TQQQ (3× Nasdaq‑100) for growth; otherwise hold BIL (T‑bills) for safety. Aims to ride bull markets and step aside in downturns.
NutHow it works
Each day, it checks a long‑term trend: is the S&P 500 fund (SPY) above its 200‑day average? If yes, go 100% into TQQQ (a 3× version of the tech‑heavy Nasdaq‑100—very volatile). If not, go 100% into BIL (short‑term U.S. T‑bills). The rule is checked daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this rule-based strategy aims for higher growth (~25% annualized vs SPY ~19%), riding 3x tech leverage (TQQQ) in uptrends and shifting to Treasuries (BIL) in downturns. Bigger drawdowns, but stronger long-term upside—suited for growth-focused, risk-tolerant investors.

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.
