About

Daily, rules-based switching: ride tech in uptrends with TQQQ, step aside to BIL when overheated, and in downtrends buy washed‑out dips (TQQQ/UPRO) or play defense with SQQQ or TLT. Uses a 50/200‑day trend filter and a 10‑day RSI heat gauge.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks if the S&P 500 is in an uptrend (50‑day average above 200‑day = healthy trend). If yes, it holds TQQQ (3x Nasdaq‑100) unless prices look overheated (10‑day RSI = 0–100 speed/heat score; >~80), then it parks in BIL (T‑bills). If no, it buys sharp dips (RSI < ~30) in TQQQ or UPRO; otherwise shifts to defense: SQQQ (3x short Nasdaq) or TLT (long Treasuries), chosen by short‑term strength.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~34.8% annualized return vs SPY's ~21.4%, with dynamic tech exposure and hedges. Sharpe ~0.78 vs ~1.15 for SPY; drawdown ~58.5% signals higher risk; suitable for investors with high growth tolerance.

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.
