About

A rules‑based, tech‑heavy strategy: ride 3x Nasdaq/S&P funds in uptrends, but cut exposure, short, or hedge with volatility/bonds in selloffs or choppy markets. Uses moving‑average trend and a simple hot/cold gauge (RSI) to switch daily.
NutHow it works
It mostly rides TQQQ and similar 3x funds when the market trend is up (price above its long-term average). It uses a “hot/cold” gauge (RSI: near 0=washed out, near 100=overheated). In uptrends it holds TQQQ/TECL/SOXL (sometimes SVXY). If things overheat it may briefly buy UVXY. In down/sideways markets it cuts risk, moves to PSQ/SQQQ (short QQQ), Treasuries, or cash-like ETFs. Rules are checked daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Adaptive, tech-heavy strategy delivering superior risk-adjusted gains vs SPY. OOS annualized return ~127.6% vs ~38.3%; Calmar ~7.14; Sharpe ~2.33. Dynamic hedges aim to reduce risk in selloffs, though drawdowns can be larger in sharp dips.

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.
