About

A rules-based, 50/50 mix of a simple Nasdaq dip‑buyer and a tactical switcher. It rides strong tech/index uptrends, but shifts to Treasuries, inverse funds or volatility when markets overheat or weaken. Uses 3x ETFs, so expect big swings.
NutHow it works
It splits your money 50/50 between two rule sets. 1) TQQQ Minimal: mostly holds TQQQ (triple Nasdaq‑100). If moves get too hot or scary (big jump or a volatility spike), it briefly hedges with SQQQ (triple inverse Nasdaq), VXX (volatility), or TLT (long Treasuries). 2) Beta Baller: faster. It checks stock trend (SPY), bond trend (TLT) and if commodities (DBC/PDBC, no K‑1) are leading. If risk‑on, it buys the strongest of TQQQ/TECL/SOXL/UPRO. If risk‑off, it uses TMF/TMV, SQQQ/SOXS/TECS, SHY/BIL, or VXX.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~67% annualized return vs ~18% for the S&P, with better risk-adjusted Sharpe (~1.10) and Calmar (~1.63). Expect larger drawdowns (~41%), but the strategy aims for far stronger, regime-driven growth than the S&P.

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.
