About

A daily, rules-based rotation. It buys 3x growth ETFs (TECL/TQQQ/UPRO) in uptrends, cools to DIA/IWM when markets look overheated, and goes defensive with ~80% T‑bills + 20% inverse (SH/PSQ) when short-term signals turn shaky.
NutHow it works
Daily, it reads simple price signals. Moving averages = average recent price (spot up/down trends). RSI = 0–100 “heat” score; 80 = very hot. If SPYG trends up: go big with TECL/TQQQ/UPRO (3x tech/Nasdaq/S&P). If SPY is too hot (RSI≥80): shift to DIA (Dow 30) + IWM (small caps). If not: hedge with ~80% BIL (T‑bills) + 20% SH/PSQ (inverse) when signals wobble; else use UPRO or TQQQ.
CheckmarkValue prop
Turbocharged trend-following rotation: invest in 3x tech/Nasdaq bets on uptrends, hedge when overheated. Out-of-sample annualized return ~66.5% vs S&P ~23.4%, Calmar ~1.84, Sharpe ~1.22—higher upside with disciplined 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.
