About

A trend-following U.S. stock strategy that tilts between regular index ETFs and their 3x versions (SPY/SPXL, QQQ/TQQQ, DIA/UDOW) using multiple moving-average checks. It adds leverage in uptrends and stays unlevered when trends weaken.
NutHow it works
It splits money into three buckets: S&P 500 (SPY), Nasdaq-100 (QQQ), and Dow 30 (DIA). Each bucket has 4 slices. If the index’s recent trend is above its longer-term trend, that slice uses the 3x bull ETF (SPXL/TQQQ/UDOW); otherwise it holds the regular ETF. More uptrend = more leverage.
CheckmarkValue prop
Captures strong uptrends with calibrated leverage, boosting out-of-sample returns vs SPY: 46% vs 23% annualized, while multi-timeframe trend checks dampen risk and preserve upside.

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.
