About

A signal-driven, levered-tech rotation with hedges (UVXY, SQQQ, BSV) that uses RSI and a 200-day trend filter to switch between 3x tech bets and defensive hedges. High risk, high potential reward.
NutHow it works
Think of this as a rulebook for riding (and hedging) a tech stock rally. It watches a big tech focus (via TQQQ) and looks for two kinds of signals: short-term momentum (is the recent move too hot?) and longer-term trend (is the price above its long-term average?). If momentum is extremely hot (RSI > 79 on TQQQ), it buys UVXY to benefit if volatility spikes and to limit potential losses. If momentum isn’t that hot and the market is in an uptrend (price above 200-day average), it tilts into 3x tech bets (TECL or SOXL) with an 80% tilt. It also checks whether those bets themselves are oversold (low RSI) and, if so, adds them to the portfolio to catch a rebound. If the market looks weak or uncertain, the system switches toward risk-off assets, picking the strongest defensive option between SQQQ (inverse QQQ) and BSV (short-term bonds) using a small momentum ranking. There is no routine rebalancing; changes happen when signals shift. The net effect is a dynamic tilt between aggressive tech exposure and hedged/defensive positions, designed to chase gains during tech rallies while limiting drawdown in downturns.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample shows ~73% annualized returns vs ~20% for the S&P, with Calmar ~3.18—risk-adjusted upside despite larger drawdowns. The strategy dynamically tilts between 3x tech bets and hedges (UVXY, SQQQ, BSV) to chase rallies and defend losses.

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.
