About

An all‑in, fast‑switching strategy that uses very short‑term signals on the S&P 500 to flip between 3× long or 3× inverse S&P or Nasdaq funds. Tools: moving averages and RSI. High risk; moves can be rapid in both directions.
NutHow it works
It always picks one of four funds: 3× long or 3× inverse S&P 500 (UPRO/SPXU), or 3× long or 3× inverse Nasdaq‑100 (TQQQ/SQQQ). Step 1: If SPY’s price is at/above its 2‑day average, look at trend: if its 5‑day average is below the 10‑day, buy SPXU; else buy UPRO. Step 2: If price is below the 2‑day average, compare RSI(3‑day) vs RSI(21‑day) on SPY: if short‑term ≥ long‑term, buy SQQQ; else buy TQQQ. “Moving average” = recent price average. “RSI” = balance of recent ups vs downs. These are 3× funds (very volatile).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~26% annualized return vs ~21% for SPY, with upside in volatility from 3x long/inverse bets. Higher growth but much larger drawdowns (~54% vs ~19%). Best for risk-tolerant investors seeking above-market upside.

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.
