About

Daily switches between a 3× tech‑stock fund (TQQQ) and a 3× inverse long‑term Treasury bond fund (TTT). If TQQQ’s past 40 days beat TTT’s past 20 days, own TQQQ; otherwise own TTT. Simple rule, big moves, high risk due to leverage.
NutHow it works
Each day it holds one fund: TQQQ or TTT. TQQQ aims for about 3× the daily move of the Nasdaq‑100 (big U.S. tech like Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia). TTT targets about −3× long‑term U.S. Treasury bond prices (it rises when rates rise). If TQQQ’s last 40‑day return beats TTT’s last 20‑day return, it holds TQQQ; otherwise TTT. Both are 3× leveraged and very volatile.
CheckmarkValue prop
Macro-driven, rule-based switch between 3x leveraged tech and inverse Treasuries. Out-of-sample: ~22% annualized return with higher beta and SPY diversification, but larger drawdowns—well-suited as a risk-tolerant complement to the S&P 500.

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.
