About

Daily switcher around TQQQ: short semis when tech is overheated, buy TQQQ in normal uptrends, lean into SOXL after sharp drops, occasionally use UVXY on post‑crash pops, otherwise hide in T‑Bills. Uses RSI, trend, and drawdown filters.
NutHow it works
It makes one daily choice using simple signals. - RSI: a 0–100 “heat” meter of recent up vs down days. - Trend: price vs 25‑day average. Drawdown: recent peak‑to‑trough drop. Holds: TQQQ (3x Nasdaq‑100) in uptrends; SOXS (3x short semis) when TQQQ is overheated; SOXL (3x long semis) after sharp drops; UVXY (VIX futures) briefly after post‑crash pops; else BIL (T‑Bills).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy targets ~65% annualized return vs SPY ~22%, with Calmar ~1.48 and Sharpe ~1.14. Tactical tech tilts and risk controls offer meaningful upside, while accepting higher drawdowns for growth.

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.
