About

Aggressive tech timer: rides uptrends with TQQQ, buys volatility (UVXY) on shock days, and hides in T‑bills + short Nasdaq (SQQQ) when stress lights flash, using simple heat/trend gauges and bond/yield‑curve warnings.
NutHow it works
It switches among three modes: - Risk‑on: 100% TQQQ (3x Nasdaq‑100) when trend is up (QQQ above its 25‑day average) or after sharp sell‑offs when a 10‑day RSI “heat meter” says oversold. - Panic: if tech is extremely hot (RSI ~80+) or a huge up day follows a big drop, buy UVXY (volatility). - Defensive: 60% BIL (T‑Bills) + 40% SQQQ (short Nasdaq) when recent drops, bond turmoil, weak stock “heat,” or bond warnings flash. Bond checks compare SPY vs BND and IEF vs TLT (inverted‑curve proxy). RSI=0–100 heat; MA=25‑day avg; drawdown=drop from a recent peak.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: 18.0% vs SPY 22.3%; Sharpe 0.58 vs 1.40; max drawdown 46.5% vs 18.8%. A regime-tuned tech tilt with volatility hedges and bond signals—designed to diversify and add tech-driven upside, not replace the S&P.

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.
