About

A daily, rules-based plan built around TQQQ (3x Nasdaq‑100). It rides tech uptrends, buys sharp dips, and quickly shifts to cash, Treasuries, inverse QQQ, or volatility hedges when danger signs flash. Many overlapping “safety checks.”
NutHow it works
Goal: ride big tech uptrends with TQQQ; cut risk fast when conditions turn. It checks trend (S&P vs 200‑day; short vs long momentum), heat/cold (RSI 0–100: >80 hot, <30 cold), and choppiness (standard deviation). Offense: hold TQQQ; buy deep dips with TECL/SOXL/UPRO. Defense: shift to cash (BIL), Treasuries (TLT/IEF/AGG), inverse QQQ (PSQ/SQQQ), or volatility hedges (UVXY/VIXY). Uses several rule‑sets and follows the top ones. Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy shows stronger risk-adjusted growth than the S&P: Sharpe 1.55 vs 1.22, Calmar 2.92, annualized return ~104% vs ~22%. It rides tech uptrends (TQQQ) but quickly hedges risk for big upside with discipline.

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.
