About

Daily, rules-based rotation that rides TQQQ in uptrends and shifts to cash, short tech, or Treasuries in downtrends using short-term momentum cues. It blends four trend views and equal-weights their picks.
NutHow it works
Runs four parallel rule-sets. Each asks if SPY/QQQ is in an uptrend (price above a 50/100/150/200‑day moving average—the average price; above=uptrend). If yes, it usually holds TQQQ (3x Nasdaq) unless short‑term RSI (0–100; high=“hot”) is extreme, then it parks in BIL (T‑bills). If trend is down, it rotates among TECL (3x tech), UPRO (3x S&P), SQQQ (‑3x Nasdaq) or TLT (Treasuries) via short‑term RSI. The four picks are equal‑weighted and rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
A disciplined, four-group, trend-following system that rides TQQQ in uptrends and rotates to hedges in down markets. Out-of-sample Sharpe ~1.52 vs S&P ~1.16, Calmar ~3.27, and higher risk-adjusted upside, with multiple trend horizons.

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.
