About

Daily switcher that uses “heat” and trend checks to rotate between 3× long/short Nasdaq (TQQQ/SQQQ), long Treasuries (TLT), or T‑bills (BIL), guided by S&P strength and tech vs managed‑futures momentum. Very aggressive.
NutHow it works
Each day: 1) If the S&P 500’s 10‑day RSI (a 0–100 heat gauge of recent up vs down days) >80, move to BIL (T‑bills). 2) Else if RSI <30, buy TQQQ (3× Nasdaq‑100). 3) Else if tech (XLK) has higher 10‑day RSI than KMLM (a managed‑futures trend ETF), buy TQQQ. 4) Else if KMLM < its 20‑day average, buy TLT (long‑term Treasuries). 5) Otherwise buy SQQQ (−3× Nasdaq‑100). Very volatile.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy targets 42.41% annualized return vs SPY’s 30.04%, with Calmar ~1.69. It rotates among TQQQ/SQQQ, TLT, and BIL based on momentum signals to pursue higher upside in volatile markets—accepting larger drawdowns.

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.
