About

A daily switch that rotates among cash (BIL), 3x long or short Nasdaq (TQQQ/SQQQ), or long Treasuries (EDV) using short‑term “heat” (RSI) of cash vs Treasuries, an S&P 500 overbought check, and bonds vs high‑beta stocks to flip between offense and defense.
NutHow it works
It switches daily among: BIL=cash‑like T‑bills, TQQQ=3x long Nasdaq‑100, SQQQ=3x short Nasdaq‑100, EDV=long‑term Treasuries. It uses RSI, a 0–100 “heat meter” of recent price moves (higher=hotter). 1) If 7–10Y Treasuries (IEF) look hotter than cash (BIL), buy TQQQ—unless the S&P 500 (SPY) is very hot (RSI>75), then park in BIL. 2) Otherwise, if corporate bonds (SPIB) beat high‑vol stocks (SPHB), buy TQQQ; else buy the stronger of SQQQ or EDV.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: 0.40% annual return, 53% max drawdown vs S&P 500's 17.2% annual return and ~17% drawdown. Dynamic hedges and diversification, not a substitute for core equity exposure.

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.
