About

Three daily signals compare tech/SPY vs a defensive benchmark (KMLM). Each picks TQQQ (3× long Nasdaq) or PSQ/SQQQ (short Nasdaq, size set by SPY’s trend). The portfolio equally weights the three choices.
NutHow it works
It runs 3 daily “votes.” Each vote picks offense (TQQQ = 3× long Nasdaq) or defense (PSQ = 1× short, or SQQQ = 3× short). - Tools: Moving average = average price over X days. RSI = 0–100 heat score of recent gains. KMLM is a managed‑futures ETF used as a safety barometer; SPY = S&P 500; XLK = tech sector. - Logic: If tech/SPY look stronger than KMLM (higher RSI), or if KMLM is weak (below its 20‑day avg), choose TQQQ; otherwise short via PSQ/SQQQ. If SPY is below its 200‑day avg, use the stronger short (SQQQ). The 3 picks are equally weighted.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample outperformance vs SPY: ~57% annualized return vs ~21%, Sharpe 1.26 vs 1.16, Calmar 1.72. A three-vote Nasdaq strategy offering growth with measured 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.
