About

Daily switch among TQQQ (offense), QID (hedge), and BTAL (defense) using simple gauges of heat (RSI), trend vs average, recent drops, and bond‑market stress to ride rallies, fade spikes, or hide during chop.
NutHow it works
Owns one fund at a time: TQQQ (3x Nasdaq‑100), QID (‑2x Nasdaq‑100), or BTAL (long “boring” stocks, short “risky” ones). It checks daily gauges: RSI (0–100 heat of recent moves), price vs 25‑day average (trend), biggest 10‑day drop, and 1/6‑day returns, plus bond ETFs for stress. Overheated or sharp snap‑back? QID. Clear uptrend or washed‑out dip? TQQQ. Choppy or bond stress? BTAL.
CheckmarkValue prop
Dynamic tactical sleeve switching among TQQQ, QID, and BTAL to ride rallies, fade spikes, and hide in chop. Out-of-sample Sharpe ~0.56 with ~17% annualized return, offering diversification and regime-aware risk management versus the S&P 500.

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.
