About

Daily tactical: rides leveraged tech (TQQQ=3x Nasdaq‑100, SOXL=3x chipmakers) when trend and short‑term checks are favorable; otherwise shifts to hedges—SQQQ/SOXS=3x inverse, UVXY=volatility, TLT/SHY/BSV=U.S. Treasuries. Uses an S&P 500 200‑day trend gate.
NutHow it works
Daily, 50% runs a semiconductor swing sleeve; 50% a Nasdaq‑100 sleeve. When the market trend is up and short‑term “hot/cold” and “fast‑drop” checks look good, it rides leveraged tech (mainly TQQQ/SOXL). If overheated, whipsaw‑prone, or falling fast, it flips to hedges: inverse tech (SQQQ/SOXS), volatility (UVXY), or Treasuries (TLT/SHY/BSV). A long‑term S&P 500 trend gate dials risk up/down.
CheckmarkValue prop
Offers superior risk-adjusted gains vs the S&P 500: out-of-sample Sharpe ~1.47 vs 1.41, Calmar ~1.82, and ~104% annualized return, driven by dynamic tech/semis exposure with hedges and trend gates. Note: drawdowns can be larger in stress.

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.
