About

A fast, high‑risk swing strategy: fade overheated markets via UVXY, buy 3× stock ETFs (TQQQ/SPXL/SOXL) on dips, and sit in T‑Bills (BIL) when conditions aren’t right. Uses stock‑ and bond‑momentum checks to decide when to take risk.
NutHow it works
Daily checks a “recent‑move score” (RSI: 0–100; >80=overheated, <30=washed‑out). If 3× stock ETFs (TQQQ=Nasdaq, SPXL=S&P 500, SOXL=semis) are overheated, it buys UVXY (volatility) for a pullback. If one is washed‑out, it buys that ETF. Otherwise it gates risk: in friendly trends (or when long Treasuries lead) and when bonds perk up vs stocks, it holds TQQQ/SPXL/SOXL equally; else it parks in BIL (T‑Bills). Very high risk.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: ~74% annualized return, Sharpe ~1.56, Calmar ~2.32—versus S&P 500 ~21% return and ~1.32 Sharpe. Higher upside with disciplined risk controls using 3× levered ETFs and volatility hedges to beat the market.

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.
