About

Daily, it rides tech strength with TQQQ, hides in T‑bills when risk rises, and briefly hedges with SOXS/UVXY if the market is overheated or violently swinging. Signals come from hot/cold gauges (RSI), trend vs 25‑day average, big drops, and bond behavior.
NutHow it works
Each day it picks one fund: TQQQ (triple‑levered Nasdaq‑100), cash‑like BIL, or short‑term hedges UVXY (volatility) or SOXS (inverse semiconductors). It buys TQQQ when trend is up (price above 25‑day average) or after sharp selloffs (RSI says “oversold”). It parks in BIL when near‑term losses or bond volatility are high. If the market looks overheated (very high RSI) or is whipsawing, it briefly uses SOXS/UVXY.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample upside ~50% annualized vs ~22% S&P. Uses tactical hedges and risk controls for strong alpha and solid risk-adjusted returns (Calmar ~1.10). Note higher drawdowns in stress.

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.
