About

Aggressive, tech‑tilted system that buys deep dips, rides uptrends with 3x ETFs, and hedges or flips short after spikes using volatility funds. Bond and trend checks decide when to hold TQQQ/SOXL/SPXL, UVXY/SVXY, or cash (BIL).
NutHow it works
Splits into 3 sleeves: tech dip‑buyer, short‑term “pop” trader, and volatility sleeve. Uses RSI (0–100: high=hot, low=cold) and trend checks. Buys 3x tech/S&P/semis (TQQQ, SPXL, SOXL), flips to inverse or UVXY when overheated, to SVXY or cash (BIL) in calm. Bonds (TLT/IEF/BND) act as brakes. TQQQ=3x Nasdaq‑100; SOXL/SOXS=3x semis; SPXL=3x S&P; UVXY/SVXY=volatility; BIL=T‑bills.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: annualized return ~75.8% vs SPY 22.6%, Sharpe ~1.54 vs 1.42, Calmar ~2.05. With hedges and bond brakes, it offers higher upside; but max drawdown ~37% vs SPY ~19%. Best for risk-tolerant, tech-focused investors.

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.
