About

A rules-based U.S. stock strategy that dials exposure between regular and 3× ETFs on SPY, QQQ, and DIA using multi-timeframe trend checks—aiming to press winners in uptrends and ease off when trends weaken.
NutHow it works
It tracks three big U.S. stock indexes: S&P 500 (SPY), Nasdaq-100 (QQQ), and Dow 30 (DIA). For each, it checks if recent prices sit above longer-term averages across 4 time spans. Each “yes” uses the 3× fund (SPXL/TQQQ/UDOW); each “no” uses the normal ETF. That sleeve ends up at 1×, 1.5×, 2×, 2.5×, or 3×. Money is split evenly across the three indexes. Leverage magnifies gains/losses and resets daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return ~46% with a 37.6% max drawdown, Sharpe ~1.21 and Calmar ~1.23—strong upside vs the S&P when trends confirm. It scales from 1x to 3x only after four EMA signals align, balancing potential gains with disciplined 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.
