About

Rides tech uptrends with TQQQ, steps to cash when overheated, and in downtrends either buys big dips or shifts to a hedge (SQQQ) or Treasuries (TLT). Uses simple trend (moving averages) and short-term “heat” (RSI) signals. High risk due to 3x ETFs.
NutHow it works
Daily check of tech’s trend using TQQQ’s 50-day vs 200-day average. If uptrend: own TQQQ unless very “hot” short term, then sit in BIL (cash-like). If downtrend: try buying sharp dips (TQQQ or UPRO). If no dip, hold either SQQQ (betting against tech) or TLT (Treasuries) based on which is stronger. RSI = a 0–100 “heat” score; high=hot, low=washed-out.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy targets ~60% annualized returns vs ~21% for the S&P by riding tech uptrends with tactical hedges. It offers big upside with disciplined risk controls—though expect higher drawdowns and volatility.

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.
