About

A daily “all‑in or out” system: ride 3x Nasdaq (TQQQ) in uptrends or deep pullbacks, hide in T‑Bills (BIL) when volatility/conditions worsen, and rarely make a speculative 3x inverse biotech (LABD) bet during extreme signals.
NutHow it works
Each day it owns just one thing: TQQQ (aims for 3x Nasdaq‑100’s daily move), BIL (cash‑like T‑Bills), or—rarely—LABD (3x opposite of biotech). It buys TQQQ when the Nasdaq is trending up or very washed‑out, moves to BIL when volatility spikes or trend breaks, and in a few “too hot/whiplash” cases takes a short‑biotech punt. Bond moves help green‑light risk.
CheckmarkValue prop
Leverage Nasdaq upside with a built-in risk-off: 3x exposure when trends are favorable, otherwise cash. Out-of-sample: ~20.7% annualized return, Calmar ~0.49, max drawdown ~42% (vs SPY ~19%). A risk-managed alternative to the S&P 500.

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.
