About

A daily, tactical plan: ride 3x tech in uptrends, switch to a volatility fund when tech looks overheated, and in weak markets either buy quick 3x rebounds or go defensive with short tech or long Treasuries. Extremely high risk.
NutHow it works
It uses two simple tools: trend and a heat meter. Trend: if the S&P 500 is above its 200‑day average, it’s an uptrend; below = downtrend. Heat (RSI, 10 days): >~80 = too hot; <~30 = washed out. Uptrend: mostly hold TQQQ (3x big‑tech). If too hot, flip to UVXY (a volatility bet). Downtrend: buy quick dips via TECL/UPRO; otherwise choose SQQQ (3x short tech) or TLT (Treasuries) based on recent strength. Rebalances daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~102% annualized return vs SPY's ~22%, with better risk-adjusted metrics (Sharpe ≈1.48; Calmar ≈2.03) and positive alpha (~0.26). A disciplined, tactical plan delivering faster growth with controlled risk vs the S&P 500.

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.
