About

A fast, rules‑based plan that rides tech‑heavy uptrends with 3x ETFs, buys dips, and quickly shifts to cash, inverse funds, or VIX when markets overheat or weaken. About 70% is tactical; 30% follows a long‑term Nasdaq trend filter.
NutHow it works
It splits money 70/30. 70% flips among: TQQQ/TECL/SOXL/SPXL (3x bulls), SQQQ/SOXS (3x shorts), UVXY (fear/VIX), and BSV/SHY/BIL/TLT (cash‑like bonds). It uses a heat meter (RSI: high=overheated, low=oversold), trend (SPY above/below its 200‑day average), and volatility cues (SVXY) to decide. 30% follows a long‑term Nasdaq plan: stay risk‑on above the 200‑day trend, de‑risk below. It buys dips and trims when overheated.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy delivers higher risk-adjusted performance than the S&P: ~83% annualized vs ~23%, Sharpe ~1.44 vs ~1.40, Calmar ~1.93. It tolerates larger drawdowns but uses rapid hedges and regime checks to capture upside while managing 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.
