About

A daily, rules-driven rotation that rides tech momentum (TQQQ/TECL/SOXL) in healthy uptrends and quickly shifts to staples (UGE/XLP), Treasuries/cash, or volatility/short hedges (UVXY, PSQ/SQQQ) when markets get overheated or turn down.
NutHow it works
Every day it asks: Is the market rising and not “too hot”? If yes, it rides growth funds like TQQQ (3x Nasdaq), TECL/SOXL (3x tech/semis). If overheated or weak, it shifts to UGE/XLP (consumer staples), cash-like BIL, or Treasuries (TLT/TMF). In selloffs it hedges with UVXY/VIXY (volatility) or goes short via PSQ/SQQQ.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy offers steadier upside with less downside vs the S&P 500: Calmar ~1.49, max drawdown ~3.36% vs 5.07%, Sharpe ~1.16, with tech exposure in uptrends and hedges on pullbacks.

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.
