About

A daily, rules‑based blend that tries to ride Nasdaq/tech booms with TQQQ, hide in T‑bills (BIL) when markets turn, and sometimes hedge or buy quick dips in semiconductors (SOXL/SOXS). It also rotates into strong sectors/stocks when trends are healthy.
NutHow it works
It blends two halves: (1) an aggressive tech/sector rotator and (2) a simple “TQQQ or cash” switch. Main aim: ride tech uptrends (TQQQ=3x Nasdaq). If it gets too hot (RSI>79=overbought), briefly hedge (SOXS=3x short semis). If it plunges (>12% in 6 days), try a quick bounce (SOXL=3x semis) if oversold (RSI<32); else park in BIL (T‑bills) or rotate into the strongest sectors/stocks. Uses trend (price vs 25‑day avg), volatility (max drawdown), and bond signals to choose risk‑on vs cash.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy targets tech-led upside (~50% annualized) vs SPY’s ~23%, using hedges (SOXS/SOXL), sector rotations, and T-bill cash shields to curb losses. Higher growth potential with disciplined risk controls; note drawdowns can be sizable in downturns.

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.
