About

Aggressive, TQQQ‑first strategy with a trend filter. In uptrends it holds TQQQ unless overheated, then parks in one defensive bond/staples/utilities ETF. In downtrends it buys TQQQ on oversold dips; otherwise hides defensively when weakness persists.
NutHow it works
Daily check. Step 1: Is SPY (S&P 500) above its 200‑day average? If yes, hold TQQQ (3x Nasdaq) unless TQQQ or SPXL (3x S&P) look “hot” by RSI (a 0–100 hot/cold score). If hot, park in one defensive fund: bonds (BSV/TLT/LQD/VBF), staples (XLP/UGE) or utilities (XLU), picking the weakest by RSI. If SPY is below, usually still hold TQQQ; buy it on oversold dips (low RSI). If weakness persists, rotate to one defensive fund.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample tests show this TQQQ-first strategy delivers superior risk-adjusted returns vs the S&P 500 by riding tech-led uptrends and buying dips, while rotating to defensives when overheated or weak.

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.
