About

Daily rules flip between 3x tech/market bets, steadier Dow/small‑caps, or mostly T‑Bills with small inverse hedges. Uses short‑ and medium‑term strength/trend gauges to turn risk on/off. High risk due to leverage and fast moves.
NutHow it works
1) First, check if a growth‑heavy S&P fund is above its 21‑day average. If yes, use fast‑moving 3x tech/market funds; if the tape looks “too hot,” switch to steadier Dow + small‑caps. 2) If that fund is weak, very short‑term checks (2/5/10‑day averages and a quick strength meter) choose between: mostly T‑Bills with a small inverse hedge, or a contrarian 3x long. Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy targets about 66.5% annualized returns vs SPY's 23.4%, with a Calmar ~1.84—strong risk-adjusted upside that shifts between leveraged growth bets and hedges to protect capital.

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.
