About

Daily, it toggles between leveraged tech (TQQQ/SOXL), volatility funds (VXX/UVXY), and T‑Bills (BIL). It buys TQQQ when trends are firm, hides in BIL when stress rises, and bets on rebounds or fear spikes after sharp drops.
NutHow it works
Daily it flips among: TQQQ (3x Nasdaq), SOXL (3x chips), VXX/UVXY (funds that jump when fear rises), or BIL (T‑Bills). If TQQQ is extremely “hot” (very strong recent gains), hedge with VXX. After a sharp week‑long drop, either play a short fear spike (UVXY) or a chip rebound (SOXL) if TQQQ looks “washed out”; else sit in BIL. Otherwise, if QQQ is above its 25‑day average, hold TQQQ; if drop/stress flags appear, hold BIL; some bond signals can still green‑light TQQQ.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~56% annualized return vs ~24% for the S&P; Calmar ~1.26; Sharpe ~1.04. Higher upside in tech/volatility regimes with trend/bond risk controls, but drawdowns can be larger (~44% vs ~19%).

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.
