About

Aggressive daily-rotating strategy using 3x levered ETFs to catch tech/semiconductor moves; when momentum isn’t extreme, rotates into a diversified leveraged-all-weather sleeve across bonds, dollars, and equities to ride or shield from regime shifts.
NutHow it works
Two momentum-based 'Pop Bots' target QQQ and SOXX using RSI to time entries: extreme overbought readings favor an inverse 3x ETF to anticipate a pullback; extreme oversold readings favor the 3x levered ETF to ride a continued move. If neither extreme is met, the strategy routes to a broader LETF AWP sleeve, which rotates among defensive and risk-on levered exposures based on simple momentum/fear signals (VIX-based and SPY/IEF/TLT relationships). The AWP tilt is: (a) fear spike -> ICSH (short-term bonds) to reduce risk, (b) otherwise, a regime-based choice between a TMF Bull group (risk-on, multi-levered beta to stocks and long Treasuries) or a TMV Bear group (risk-off, Treasury bear, dollar exposure). Positions are rebalanced daily, with 100% allocation to either the chosen pop-bot or the LETF AWP bucket, then distributed per the specified weights inside the chosen group. The set of tickers includes QQQ/SQQQ, SOXL/SOXS, TQQQ, UPRO, UDOW, URTY, NUGT, UTSL, TYD, TYO, TMF, TMV, TYD, UPRO, USDU, ICSH, IEF, TLT, VIXM, SPY, SPY’s peers; the intent is to capture large, rapid moves in tech and semis while maintaining a risk-managed, leveraged-all-weather fallback during different market regimes.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return ~58% vs S&P 500 ~21%; higher risk-adjusted edge (Calmar ~1.45) from tech/semis momentum plus regime hedges. Note: max drawdown ~40% vs ~19% for SPY—more volatility, but bigger upside in trending regimes.

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.
