About

A rules-based “TQQQ or not” collection: buy 3x Nasdaq when trend or oversold signals are favorable; otherwise shift to T‑Bills or hedges (UVXY/SQQQ/SOXS). Uses bond-market signals to avoid risk-on during turmoil and includes variants with semis, banks, and a defensive trio.
NutHow it works
Runs several TQQQ-or-cash playbooks in parallel and blends them. - Own TQQQ when trend is up or after sharp, oversold drops. - If price is too hot, step into hedges (UVXY/SOXS) or T‑Bills. - If volatility is high or bonds look stressed, move to cash or a mild short (BIL+SQQQ). - One branch uses DPST; another uses a USD/Gold/Staples safety mix.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: ~23% annualized return, modestly beating the S&P, powered by adaptive leverage (TQQQ) with hedges and bond signals. Strong upside in rallies, but expect larger drawdowns (about 40%).

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.
