About

Daily rules aim to ride tech rallies with TQQQ, hide in T‑bills when risk rises, and in extremes switch to UVXY or SOXL. Decisions use heat (RSI), trend, recent drawdowns, and bond‑market stress.
NutHow it works
Each day it picks one ETF: TQQQ (3× Nasdaq), SOXL (3× semis), UVXY (volatility), or BIL (T‑bills). It reads: RSI (0–100 heat score; high=hot, low=cold), 25‑day average (trend), recent max drop, and bond stress. Rules: ride uptrends with TQQQ; go to BIL if a 10‑day drop is big or bonds are shaky; after crashes buy SOXL for a bounce if bonds are calm; if things get too hot or a crash bounces hard, use UVXY.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: ~52% annualized return with Sharpe ~1.01 and Calmar ~1.18, far outperforming the S&P (~22% annualized) on risk-adjusted basis. Dynamic rotation among leveraged tech ETFs with hedges targets big upside; higher drawdowns risk.

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.
