About

A daily rule‑set that either rides 3× tech (TQQQ), hides in T‑Bills (BIL), or uses volatility hedges (UVXY/VIXY). It buys TQQQ in calm uptrends or deep oversold, moves to BIL when risk rises, and pairs cash with vol during extremes.
NutHow it works
Each day it picks one of: TQQQ (3x tech via Nasdaq‑100), BIL (T‑Bills/cash‑like), or panic hedges (UVXY, VIXY). RSI = 0–100 “heat” meter; high=hot, low=cold. Moving average = 25‑day average price. Drawdown = worst recent drop. Too hot or snap‑back after a plunge → BIL+UVXY+VIXY. Big fresh drops or bond stress → BIL. Cold or clear uptrend and calm → TQQQ. When falling rates favor growth, it may still choose TQQQ.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy yields higher annualized returns (~26.8% vs 22.8% for S&P) via tactical tech-leverage with cash and volatility hedges; greater upside but larger drawdowns, suitable for risk-tolerant growth seekers.

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.
