About

Daily tactical plan using trend and a short‑term “heat” gauge. In uptrends it buys 3x tech or short‑vol unless overheated, then holds mostly T‑Bills with a small UVXY hedge. In downtrends it buys dips or rotates among SQQQ, TLT, or TQQQ. Very risky.
NutHow it works
Tickers: TECL/TQQQ/UPRO=3x bull Tech/Nasdaq/S&P; SQQQ=3x inverse Nasdaq; SVIX/UVXY=short/long VIX; BIL=T‑bills; TLT=long Treas.; XLK=Tech sector; KMLM=managed‑futures. RSI=0–100 heat gauge. If SPY>200‑day avg: if “too hot” (TQQQ>79 or SPY>80) do 75% BIL+25% UVXY; else if XLK stronger than KMLM buy the lower‑RSI of TECL or SVIX; else BIL. If SPY≤200‑day: if very oversold split TECL/BIL or UPRO/BIL; else if TQQQ<20‑day pick stronger of SQQQ or TLT; otherwise SQQQ if oversold, else TQQQ. Rebalanced daily; very risky.
CheckmarkValue prop
Dynamic tactical sleeve diversifying SPY with volatility hedges and trend signals. It can dampen swings, but out-of-sample data shows higher drawdowns and weaker risk-adjusted returns vs. the S&P 500—use as a hedge, not core exposure.

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.
