About

A daily, rules‑based, tech‑first strategy. It rides uptrends with 3× Nasdaq/S&P ETFs, buys sharp dips, and flips to cash, Treasuries, inverse, or volatility hedges when markets look overheated or fearful. Very aggressive; big swings possible.
NutHow it works
Each day it reads a dashboard: - Trend: Are SPY/QQQ above their average prices? If yes and risk looks normal, it rides growth with 3× tech funds (TQQQ, SOXL/TECL) or 3× S&P (UPRO). - Dips: After fast drops, it buys the dip in TQQQ/SOXL. - Heat/Fear: If markets are overheated or jumpy, it moves to T‑bills (BIL), volatility hedges (VIXY/UVXY) or BTAL, or even inverse funds (SQQQ). - Bonds: If long Treasuries trend up, it adds TMF/TLT; if rates rise, it may use TMV or cash. Terms: RSI = 0–100 speedometer of recent moves; moving average = average price; max drawdown = worst drop. Rebalances daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return ~44.9% vs SPY ~22.1%, powered by regime-switching tech exposure and dynamic hedges that aim to ride rallies and protect in turbulence. Higher drawdowns can occur, but the upside potential is compelling compared 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.
