About

Rules-based, tech‑heavy strategy. In uptrends it rides the NASDAQ via TQQQ; when overheated it flips/hedges with SQQQ or buys UVXY. In downtrends it parks in short-term bonds, with occasional oversold bounces in TECL/SOXL and volatility plays.
NutHow it works
It switches among a few funds using two cues. - Trend: if the S&P 500 (SPY) sits above its 200‑day average, be risk‑on; if below, be defensive. - Heat: a short‑term momentum “thermometer” (RSI) flags when prices look too hot or too cold. Risk‑on: ride the NASDAQ with TQQQ (3×); if overheated, briefly hedge/flip with SQQQ (−3×) or buy UVXY (spikes in panics). Defensive: use short‑term bonds (SHY/BSV), sometimes try quick bounces in oversold 3× tech/semis (TECL/SOXL), or use UVXY during volatility spikes. It also reacts to big 1–5 day drops/pops.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy outperforms the S&P 500 on risk-adjusted terms: Sharpe ~1.54 vs ~1.33, Calmar ~2.01, and ~90% annualized return vs ~21% for SPY, with bonds in downturns and volatility hedges to limit losses.

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.
