About

A daily switch that goes offensive with TQQQ in uptrends or deep dips, defensive with T‑bills when risk looks high, and contrarian with SOXS when tech looks overheated (and sometimes UVXY in chaos)—using simple “hot/cold,” trend, and bond‑stress gauges.
NutHow it works
Each day it rotates among: TQQQ (3x Nasdaq‑100 tech), SOXS (3x inverse semiconductors), UVXY (volatility), or BIL (T‑bills). If Nasdaq’s short‑term “hot/cold” score (RSI, 0–100) is very hot, it shorts chips (SOXS). After big drops, it may bet on volatility (UVXY) or buy the dip (TQQQ). Otherwise it checks trend (above 25‑day average) and bond stress to choose TQQQ or cash.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: annualized return ~49.6% vs SPY ~22.4%, Calmar ~1.10. A disciplined daily rotation across leveraged tech, hedges, and cash targets higher upside with risk controls—though drawdowns can be larger in downturns.

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.
