About

Daily “switchboard” that rides tech-led uptrends with 3x ETFs, buys sharp dips, and quickly de‑risks when the Nasdaq weakens. Uses simple trend and heat signals, hedges with inverse ETFs, Treasuries, dollar, volatility, and keeps some gold.
NutHow it works
It’s a daily switchboard that toggles offense/defense. Uptrend (S&P above 200‑day): favor growth via 3x funds like TQQQ=Nasdaq, SOXL=semis, TECL=tech. Dips/heat: uses RSI (0–100 “heat gauge”; <30 cold, >80 hot) to buy dips or hedge with VIXY (volatility). Trouble (Nasdaq <20‑day or down ~12–20%): cut leverage; use PSQ/SQQQ (short Nasdaq), Treasuries (TLT/TMF), dollar (UUP), staples (XLP), or cash. A monthly core follows bond strength (BND/TLT) to pick Risk‑On vs Risk‑Off baskets, plus small sleeves that time Treasuries/commodities and a steady bit of gold.
CheckmarkValue prop
High-upside tactical strategy riding tech uptrends with 3x ETFs and hedging dips with Treasuries, dollar, volatility, and gold. Out-of-sample: ~37% annualized return vs 21% S&P; Sharpe ~0.91, Calmar ~0.84. Built-in risk controls, though bigger downturns can occur.

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.
