About

A tactical switch among 3× long Nasdaq (TQQQ), cash-like T‑Bills (BIL), or 3× short Nasdaq (SQQQ). It uses simple strength scores plus a tech‑vs‑managed‑futures check (KMLM) to decide when to risk‑on, sit out, or short.
NutHow it works
It scores recent price strength (RSI, a 0–100 “strength” score). Gate 1: if bonds (AGG) look stronger than short stocks (SH), the market isn’t deeply bearish. Then: if tech (XLK) beats managed‑futures (KMLM), put ~90% in TQQQ (3× Nasdaq‑100); else hold BIL (T‑Bills). If Gate 1 fails, try a rebound: if bonds beat QQQ, still buy TQQQ; else if KMLM beats tech, go short via SQQQ; otherwise hold BIL. Keeps ~10% cash; trades only on signal changes.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: annualized return 55.1% vs SPY's 17.2%; Sharpe 1.12 vs 0.98; Calmar 2.17; max drawdown 25.4% vs 18.8%; alpha ~0.27. Higher upside with disciplined risk controls vs 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.
