About

Daily tech‑heavy, risk‑on/risk‑off model: if semiconductors’ momentum beats defensive funds, buy 3x tech ETFs (TQQQ/TECL). If not, park in T‑bills (BIL). Uses fast (10‑day) and slower (20‑day) checks.
NutHow it works
Daily, it scores recent price strength (RSI) for: SMH = semiconductor stocks; WTMF = managed‑futures (defensive). If SMH’s 10‑day score > WTMF’s, buy 50/50 TQQQ & TECL (both 3x tech). Else compare SMH vs FTLS (long/short stocks) over 20 days; if higher, still buy TQQQ/TECL; otherwise hold BIL (T‑bills).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy posts 58.6% annualized return with a 1.04 Sharpe and 1.85 Calmar—strong risk-adjusted gains vs SPY. It exploits tech rallies with 3x ETFs and shifts to cash in downturns for 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.
