About

A daily switch among TQQQ (3x Nasdaq), SOXL (3x semis), UVXY (volatility), or BIL (T‑bills). It rides tech uptrends, buys semis on deep dips, jumps to UVXY when markets look overheated or whipsawing, and hides in cash when stock/bond risk signals flash.
NutHow it works
Daily it picks one fund. - If TQQQ looks very “hot” (RSI>79), buy UVXY (a bet on a volatility spike). - Else if TQQQ plunged in 6 days (<-12%): after a big 1‑day jump (>5.5%) buy UVXY; else if it’s “cold” (RSI<32) or long bonds are calm, buy SOXL; otherwise hold BIL (T‑bills). - Else: if QQQ’s recent drop is large or long bonds are jumpy, hold BIL; if QQQ is above its 25‑day average, buy TQQQ; otherwise only buy TQQQ when bonds look stronger than stocks. RSI = 0–100 heat of recent ups vs downs.
CheckmarkValue prop
Tech-led growth with tactical hedges: ~52% annualized out-of-sample vs SPY ~22%, Calmar ~1.18. Higher upside but larger drawdowns (~44% vs ~19%), and lower risk-adjusted Sharpe (~1.01 vs ~1.40). Ideal for risk-tolerant investors seeking upside.

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.
