About

Daily rules rotate between TQQQ (3x Nasdaq‑100), SOXL/SOXS (3x semis), UVXY (volatility), or BIL (T‑bills) using heat/trend/volatility checks to ride uptrends, buy sharp dips, fade extremes, or sit in cash-like T‑bills.
NutHow it works
Switches among TQQQ=3x Nasdaq‑100, SOXL/SOXS=3x semis long/short, UVXY=volatility, and BIL=T‑bills. RSI is a 0–100 heat gauge; a 25‑day moving average is a short‑term trend; drawdown is a recent drop. If tech is red‑hot, briefly bet against semis (SOXS). If it just plunged: after a huge up day buy volatility (UVXY); else buy semis on dips (SOXL) unless bonds look jumpy—then hold BIL. Otherwise: if trend is up own TQQQ; else BIL unless bond signals flip risk‑on.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy rotates tech/semis bets with risk-off hedges to ride uptrends. Returns ~63% annualized vs ~22% for the S&P; Calmar ~1.44. Expect higher drawdowns (~44% vs ~19%), but far more upside in trending markets.

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.
