About

Rules-based “buy the tech dip” system: uses a 10-day heat gauge on QQQ to scale into a 3× tech ETF (TECL) as dips deepen; otherwise sits in short-term Treasuries (SHV/SHY). Cash choice depends on SPY’s 200-day trend. High risk, rebalanced daily.
NutHow it works
Each day, it checks two things: 1) Market backdrop: If the S&P 500 (SPY) is above its 200‑day average, it parks unused cash in ultra‑short Treasuries (SHV). If not, it parks in 1–3 year Treasuries (SHY). 2) Tech dip depth: It reads a 0–100 “heat gauge” (RSI) on QQQ that reflects how hard prices fell recently. The lower the number, the deeper the dip. If that gauge is under 30, it buys some TECL (a 3× daily tech fund), buying more as the gauge drops (small at ~30, up to 100% TECL below 20). If the gauge is 30 or higher, it holds Treasuries. Rebalanced daily. Note: TECL is very volatile and can drop quickly.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy delivers ~32% annualized return with ~7.23% max drawdown and a Calmar of ~4.44—far stronger risk-adjusted performance than SPY (~23.70% return, ~18.76% drawdown).

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.
