About

A daily, rule‑driven “trend with brakes” around TQQQ. It rides tech uptrends, hedges when things get too hot, and exits to shorts, bonds, or T‑Bills when risk rises. Lots of safety checks aim to soften big drawdowns while still chasing strong rallies.
NutHow it works
It’s a daily “risk‑on/risk‑off” switchboard built around TQQQ (a turbo‑charged Nasdaq fund). When the market trend looks healthy, it holds TQQQ. If prices get too hot, it briefly hedges with volatility funds. If trends weaken, it shifts to defensive picks (short QQQ, Treasuries, or T‑Bills). It constantly checks simple signals: is price above long‑term averages (uptrend)? Are short‑term moves overheated (ripe for a pullback) or washed‑out (ripe for a bounce)? It then chooses the matching ETF and revisits the choice every day.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy delivers superior risk-adjusted returns versus SPY: Sharpe 1.76 vs 1.22, Calmar 3.71, and ~133% annualized return vs ~23% for SPY. Daily regime switching and hedges aim to capture tech rallies while controlling risk.

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.
