About

Daily, rules-based rotation that rides tech booms with 3x Nasdaq (TQQQ) when trends are healthy, and shifts to bonds, cash, shorts, or volatility hedges when markets look overheated or weak. Includes a small volatility carry/hedge sleeve.
NutHow it works
Rides tech-led rallies via TQQQ (3x Nasdaq‑100) when the trend (moving averages) is up and prices aren’t overheated (RSI, an overbought/oversold gauge). If risk rises, it shifts fast to defense: cash/T‑bills (BIL/SHV), Treasuries (TLT/TMF), or short/volatility funds (PSQ/SQQQ/VIXY). A ~30% sleeve uses SVXY/VTI in calm markets, else BTAL/VIX. Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy targets tech-led upside (~59% annualized) with Sharpe ≈1.06 and Calmar ≈1.85, vs SPY ~16.8% return. It blends rapid trend bets with quick defenses (bonds, cash, volatility hedges) to manage drawdowns.

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.
