About

A daily, ETF-based mix that uses momentum and trend signals to tilt between a levered Nasdaq bet (TQQQ) and hedges/safety (SQQQ, EDV, BIL), with occasional diversification picks, all designed to be K-1 free.
NutHow it works
- Every day, the system decides where to put cash among a small set of ETFs. - The core risk-on idea is to hold ProShares UltraPro QQQ (TQQQ), a 3x levered bet on the Nasdaq-100, when the market looks favorable. A trend check (price relative to a long-term moving average) helps confirm a bullish environment. - If the market doesn’t look favorable, the strategy moves into a Leveraged Safety Mix: a hedge pairing including ProShares UltraPro Short QQQ (SQQQ) and Vanguard EDV (long-duration Treasuries). These are chosen using momentum signals to pick the best among the hedges, aiming to limit downside. - In addition to the core and safety sleeves, the portfolio may select one additional “safety” asset from a small set (such as XLU or GLD) based on momentum or volatility signals, to further diversify risk. - A simple equal-weight allocation (cash is divided evenly among chosen assets) keeps the portfolio balanced rather than overweighting any single bet. - Signals used include relative strength (a momentum measure that compares performance of assets over a window), moving-average comparisons (is price above/below its average?), and volatility-based checks (which assets have shown stable or favorable risk levels). The outcome is a compact, dynamic mix among TQQQ, SQQQ, EDV, and BIL (with occasional exposure to GLD/XLU depending on signals). - Tax-wise, the strategy emphasizes widely traded ETFs that report 1099s, hence “K-1 Free.”

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.
