About

Aggressive, tactical strategy in tech/semis that flips between 3x bull and 3x bear funds and sometimes UVXY. It bets against short‑term “overheated” moves using RSI and a 200‑day trend filter, and can park in Treasuries when risk is high.
NutHow it works
It splits money into 3 sleeves: Nasdaq‑100, Technology, and Semiconductors. It uses a simple “heat gauge” (RSI: 0–100; >~80=too hot, <~30=too cold) and a long‑term trend (S&P 500 vs 200‑day average). If things look hot, it flips to 3x bear ETFs or volatility (UVXY). If trend is healthy, it rides TQQQ; in risk‑off, it may use SQQQ or TLT, with occasional bounce buys (TECL/UPRO).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this tech/semis tactical strategy outperforms the S&P 500 on risk-adjusted terms: Sharpe ~1.41 vs 1.01, Calmar ~2.18, and ~117% annualized vs ~18%. It uses trend/RSI heat gates and hedges—yet drawdowns can be larger (~53%).

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.
