About

A daily trend strategy that scales into 3× Nasdaq‑100 (TQQQ) in 25% steps as more trend rules turn bullish, and parks the rest in T‑Bills (BIL) when trends weaken—seeking upside in tech-led rallies while cutting risk in downturns.
NutHow it works
Your money is split into four equal slices. Each slice checks a simple trend rule on TQQQ (a 3× daily version of the Nasdaq‑100—big U.S. tech). If the rule says “uptrend,” that slice buys TQQQ; otherwise it sits in BIL (T‑Bills). Rules use moving‑average comparisons (20, 50, 200 days). More rules true = more TQQQ. Rebalanced daily. High risk due to 3× leverage.
CheckmarkValue prop
Four-rule trend strategy that scales into 3× Nasdaq-100 in uptrends and parks in cash in downtrends. Out-of-sample annualized return ~31.9% vs S&P ~10%, with Calmar ~1.07 and staged exposure to manage drawdowns.

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.
