About

Rules-based switch between aggressive tech bets (TQQQ, SOXL) and defense (mostly BIL cash plus SQQQ/SOXS hedges). Buys dips, fades overheated moves, and uses bond signals as warnings. Focused on Nasdaq/semis with 3x ETFs—high risk.
NutHow it works
It switches among a few ETFs. In calm uptrends it holds TQQQ (3x Nasdaq). After fast drops it buys SOXL (3x semiconductor stocks like Nvidia/AMD) for rebounds. When markets overheat or spike, it briefly uses SOXS/SQQQ (3x inverse) to hedge. If stress appears (big losses or bond warnings), it parks in BIL (T‑Bills) plus some SQQQ. Signals are simple “hot/cold” gauges and short‑term trend checks.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample upside is compelling: ~45% annualized return vs ~21% S&P, aided by bond-informed risk controls and hedging. Higher drawdowns, but strong growth potential in tech cycles.

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.
