About

A long-term, multi-asset, ETF-only strategy that uses 3x leveraged ETFs (like TQQQ and SPXL) for upside, with hedges (UVXY, SQQQ) and bond ballast (BSV), all rebalanced daily based on momentum/trend signals. It aims for strong growth but comes with substantial risk and potential large drawdowns.
NutHow it works
What you need to know in plain language: - The strategy mostly buys and holds big, 3x leveraged ETFs (TQQQ bets heavily on tech stocks in the Nasdaq, SPXL bets on the S&P 500) instead of buying individual stocks. - It uses a set of signals to decide when to stay exposed to those bets and when to shift into hedges or safer bets. A key idea is to beware when a market move becomes too extreme, so it may shift some money into hedges like UVXY (volatility-based ETF) or SQQQ (inverse Nasdaq ETF) or even into a short-term bond fund (BSV) to dampen risk. - A common trigger is a momentum-like score (a short-term measure of how strong recent moves are) on the levered ETFs. If the score is very high, the system may tilt toward hedges. If the signal shows cooling momentum, it may lean back into the levered longs. - The allocation is designed to be equal-weighted across the chosen assets (cash-equivalent thinking) when it rebalances, rather than piling into a single winner. - It rebalances daily, so positions can swing with market moves, which is why there can be big swings in performance over time. - The strategy is explicitly multi-asset and uses only ETFs, not individual stocks, to reduce company-specific risk but still exposes you to broad market and tech-driven variance via leverage. - Practical takeaway: this is a high-risk, high-reward approach best understood by experienced investors who can tolerate large drawdowns and complex timing signals. The use of 3x levered ETFs means both potential gains and losses can be amplified relative to the market.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy delivers far higher upside than the S&P 500 (78.9% vs 23.3% annualized) with solid risk-adjusted metrics (Calmar 1.56, Sharpe ~1.30). Daily rebalancing with hedges and a bond ballast aims to capture big moves while moderating 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.
