About

Aggressive, daily tactical mix. Rides uptrends with 3x tech/Nasdaq or 3x S&P, but when markets overheat or weaken it rotates to managed futures, gold, or short‑Nasdaq/volatility hedges. Very high risk; relies on trend and momentum signals.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks if the S&P 500 is above its 200‑day average (long‑term trend). If yes, it mainly rides TQQQ/TECL (3x tech/Nasdaq) or UPRO (3x S&P). When things look overheated or choppy, it shifts to DBMF (managed‑futures), SPY, or hedges with PSQ/SQQQ (inverse QQQ), GLD (gold), or UVXY (volatility). If the S&P is below the 200‑day, it favors PSQ/SQQQ or GLD/DBMF, with quick flips on sharp bounces. It times moves with RSI (0–100 hot/cold gauge), moving averages, and short‑term returns.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return ~48.8% vs S&P ~17.5%, Calmar ~1.08 and Sharpe ~0.92. It captures tech rallies with leverage, while hedging downturns with futures, gold, and inverse bets for higher growth with controlled 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.
