About

Tech‑first, rules‑based swing system. Uses market trend (SPY 200‑day), short‑term heat/oversold (10‑day RSI), and a KMLM “risk weather‑vane” to toggle among TECL, cash/T‑Bills, small UVXY, and occasionally SPXL or SQQQ in downtrends.
NutHow it works
Daily it checks: is SPY above its 200‑day avg? If yes and momentum is overheated (very high 10‑day RSI on TQQQ/SPY), it holds ~75% T‑Bills (BIL) + ~25% UVXY. Else it favors TECL (3x Tech) when Tech (XLK) is stronger than KMLM (a managed‑futures trend fund); if Tech is too hot it holds BIL; if very oversold it buys TECL. If SPY is below trend, it buys oversold bounces in TECL/SPXL, may sit in BIL, add a small UVXY on fear spikes, or, if weakness persists, choose SQQQ over BSV only when SQQQ is stronger.
CheckmarkValue prop
Tech-first, rules-based swing system: superior risk-adjusted performance in out-of-sample periods vs the S&P 500—Sharpe 1.36 vs 1.05, Calmar 2.80, and notable upside potential—delivered with disciplined risk controls.

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.
