About

A multi-asset, RSI-driven, confirmation-based levered strategy that goes all-in on TQQQ only when KMLM-confirmed momentum across multiple assets supports it; otherwise it hedges or stays in cash/defensives to manage risk.
NutHow it works
A multi-layer timing system checks momentum signals across several ETFs. If the tech levered fund (TQQQ) and other related assets show strong, aligned momentum and KMLM confirms, the system goes for full leverage on TQQQ. If signals weaken or risk rises (volatility spike, price below long-term trend, or weak cross-asset momentum), it backs off to hedges (UVXY, SQQQ), safer cash proxies (BIL), or even bonds (TLT) or other levered alternatives (TECL, UPRO, SPXL). It uses RSI (momentum) readings on multiple symbols and compares them, with a bias to add exposure only when several signals agree. The “Shorting Group” can select one hedged position to reduce downside. The result is a structured but complex decision tree aimed at capturing upside in a rising market while preserving capital in rough times, with KMLM serving as the final confirmation filter before going fully leveraged.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample performance shows higher risk-adjusted upside than the S&P 500: Sharpe about 1.31 vs 1.07, annualized return ~75.8% vs ~18.7%, and Calmar ~2.62. A momentum-driven leveraged strategy with hedging aims for strong growth with downside protection.

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.
