About

A daily “switcher” using SPY’s 10‑day heat score (RSI) and a tech‑vs‑managed‑futures tiebreaker. It rotates 100% into TQQQ (leveraged tech), TLT (long Treasuries), or BIL (T‑bills). Risky when in TQQQ; avoids shorts.
NutHow it works
RSI(10) = 0–100 score of recent buying vs selling over ~2 weeks. Each day: - If SPY (S&P 500) RSI > 80: park in BIL (1–3 mo T‑bills). - Else if SPY RSI < 30: buy TQQQ (3x Nasdaq‑100 tech). - Else compare RSI of XLK (tech) vs KMLM (managed‑futures trends): if XLK higher buy TQQQ, else buy TLT (20+ yr Treasuries). Daily rebalance. No shorts.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~101.5% annualized return vs ~30% for S&P; Sharpe ~1.45; Calmar ~4.48. Expect higher drawdowns (~22.7% vs 13.7%), but capture big upside in favorable regimes via dynamic tech/bonds/cash switching, no shorting.

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.
