About

A daily, rules‑based rotation among leveraged tech, a volatility fund, or Treasuries. Uses TQQQ’s 200‑day trend and a 10‑day RSI “heat meter” to go long tech, hedge with volatility at extremes, or switch to short tech or Treasuries in downtrends.
NutHow it works
Daily check of TQQQ (3x Nasdaq 100). 200‑day average = long‑term trendline. RSI(10) = 0–100 “heat meter” of recent moves. If TQQQ is above its 200‑day avg: hold TQQQ, unless RSI>79 (very hot) — then switch to UVXY (volatility ETF). If below: if RSI<31 (washed‑out), buy TECL (3x tech); otherwise pick the stronger of SQQQ (3x short Nasdaq) or SCHO (short‑term Treasuries).
CheckmarkValue prop
Daily, rules-based rotation among leveraged tech, volatility, or Treasuries targets tech leadership with hedges. Out-of-sample return ~64% annually vs SPY ~23%, with Calmar ~1.68—higher upside and disciplined drawdown control.

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.
