About

A rules-based, risk-on/off wrapper around TQQQ: ride clear uptrends, hide or hedge in turmoil, and sometimes play quick rebounds. Multiple versions swap the hedge/safety sleeve (UVXY, SOXS/SQQQ, or USD/gold/staples) to diversify the approach.
NutHow it works
Own TQQQ (3x Nasdaq-100) when the trend/risk look healthy (e.g., QQQ above its 25‑day average, small recent drops). If things get too “hot” (RSI, a 0–100 stretch gauge, is very high) or sell off hard (e.g., −12% in 6 days), switch to hedges (UVXY/SOXS/SQQQ) or sit in cash-like BIL. When deeply oversold (low RSI), try quick rebound longs. One variant uses a defensive trio (USDU, GLD, XLP).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return ~23.28% vs S&P ~22.98%, with dynamic hedging and risk controls (Calmar ~0.57). Seeks more upside in uptrends and protection in turbulence, but drawdowns can be larger in severe selloffs—suitable for higher risk tolerance.

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.
