About

A fast‑switching, all‑in strategy that chases tech uptrends with TQQQ, falls back to Eli Lilly when markets look stressed, and briefly uses a volatility fund (UVXY) during extreme heat or whipsaws, guided by short‑term “heat” and bond/curve checks.
NutHow it works
It switches 100% between: TQQQ (a 3× tech‑heavy Nasdaq fund), LLY (Eli Lilly, a big drugmaker), and briefly UVXY (a fund that jumps in panics). Rules: use UVXY when tech gets extremely “hot” or after huge whipsaws; buy TQQQ after short dips or when Nasdaq is above its 25‑day trend; if tech or bonds look shaky (bond stress or yield‑curve warnings), hold LLY.
CheckmarkValue prop
Rule-based rotation: chase tech uptrends with TQQQ, hedge with LLY/UVXY. Out-of-sample: ~16.6% annualized return, Sharpe ~0.55, drawdown ~63%. Provides diversification and exposure to tech rallies not captured by the S&P 500.

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.
