About

All‑in strategy that flips among 3× bull or bear funds on the S&P 500 (UPRO/SPXU) or Nasdaq‑100 (TQQQ/SQQQ) using very short‑term moving averages and RSI. Seeks quick swings; very high risk and prone to whipsaws.
NutHow it works
Always 100% in one fund that magnifies moves 3×. If SPY’s price is above its 2‑day average, use S&P 500 funds: 3× long (UPRO) when the 5‑day average ≥ the 10‑day; otherwise 3× short (SPXU). If below, use Nasdaq‑100: compare 3‑day vs 21‑day RSI (speed of gains/losses); if short‑term ≥ long‑term, 3× short (SQQQ), else 3× long (TQQQ). UPRO/SPXU=S&P 500; TQQQ/SQQQ=Nasdaq‑100.
CheckmarkValue prop
3x levered, momentum-based shifts between S&P 500 and Nasdaq‑100 aim to capture big moves in both directions. Out-of-sample annualized return ~17.4%, plus diversification beyond SPY by targeting regimes SPY may miss.

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.
