About

A rules-based, tech-heavy strategy that splits across four TQQQ playbooks. It rides uptrends with 3x tech funds and shifts to hedges (SQQQ/UVXY) or bonds when trend, RSI, recent returns, or volatility warn of trouble, aiming to reduce deep drawdowns.
NutHow it works
Splits your money across 4 rule sets focused on TQQQ (tries to triple the Nasdaq‑100’s daily move; very tech‑heavy). Core idea: ride uptrends, cut risk when trends weaken or fear/overheating appears. Signals used: SPY’s 200‑day avg (big trend), TQQQ’s 20‑day avg (near‑term), RSI (0–100 “heat” gauge), recent 5–10 day returns, and volatility. When strong: hold TQQQ/TECL/SOXL. When weak or fear spikes: use SQQQ (inverse 3x Nasdaq) or bonds; brief UVXY only on panic spikes.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this tech-focused strategy seeks big upside vs the S&P: ~65.7% annualized return vs ~21.7%, with Sharpe ~1.18 and Calmar ~1.32. While drawdowns can be larger in downturns, risk is actively managed via hedges and rotations.

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.
