About

A daily, rules-based swing among leveraged tech/S&P ETFs, cash-like T‑Bills, inverse Nasdaq, or Treasuries. It rides uptrends with TQQQ, steps aside when overheated, and in downtrends buys deep dips or rotates to SQQQ/TLT. High risk due to 3x ETFs.
NutHow it works
Daily check. 1) Trend test: If SPY (S&P 500 ETF) is above its 200‑day average, hold TQQQ (3x Nasdaq‑100) unless a short‑term “heat gauge” (RSI: 0–100) says TQQQ or SPXL (3x S&P 500) is too hot (>~80); then park in BIL (T‑Bills). 2) If SPY is below the 200‑day: buy deep dips with TECL or UPRO when RSI is very cold (<~30). Otherwise, if TQQQ is weak, pick the stronger of SQQQ (‑3x Nasdaq) or TLT (long Treasuries). If not, switch between SQQQ and TQQQ by RSI.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: ~42% annualized return vs SPX ~16%, with Calmar ~0.84 and Sharpe ~0.85—strong upside with risk discipline. Note potential ~50% drawdowns and higher volatility from 3x leverage.

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.
