About

Daily tactical sleeve that rotates among 3x long Nasdaq (TQQQ), 3x short Nasdaq (SQQQ), 3x short semis (SOXS), or defensive BTAL using simple hot/cold, trend, and stress signals from stocks and bonds.
NutHow it works
Each day it holds ONE fund: TQQQ (3x long Nasdaq‑100), SQQQ (3x short Nasdaq‑100), SOXS (3x short semiconductors), or BTAL (defensive, market‑neutral). It rides tech uptrends (price above a 25‑day average), buys sharp dips, fades “too hot” moves by shorting semis (they often lead tech), and parks in BTAL when stocks or bonds show fast losses. Signals are simple hot/cold, trend, and drawdown checks. Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~34.5% annualized return vs ~23.8% for the S&P, ~0.83 Sharpe, and ~31.4% drawdown vs ~18.8%. A 4-ETF rotation (TQQQ, SQQQ, SOXS, BTAL) captures tech uptrends and defends against stress with rules-based signals.

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.
