About

Own TQQQ most of the time. If the market is in an uptrend and TQQQ looks overheated, switch briefly to UVXY to catch a volatility pop. If the market is in a downtrend and TQQQ is overheated, step down to SPY. Trades only when signals flip.
NutHow it works
1) Check if the S&P 500 (SPY) is above its 200‑day average. That’s the long‑term “uptrend” test. 2) Look at a short‑term “heat” score for TQQQ (10‑day RSI). If it’s very hot (above 79), assume a pullback is likely. Uptrend: if hot, hold UVXY; else hold TQQQ. Downtrend: if hot, hold SPY; else hold TQQQ.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: ~92% annualized return vs SPY ~24%, Calmar ~1.58. Ride uptrends with TQQQ and use short-term volatility moves to protect when overheated—higher upside with disciplined risk vs the S&P 500.

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.
