About

A daily, rules-based swing between 3x Nasdaq growth (TQQQ), long Treasuries, and a defensive mix. It follows stock/bond trends, avoids chasing hot moves, and at times shorts Treasuries. Uses only K‑1‑free ETFs.
NutHow it works
Main holdings: TQQQ (3x Nasdaq), EDV/TLT (long Treasuries), SQQQ (−3x Nasdaq), TYO (−3x 7–10y Treasuries), XLU (utilities), GDXJ (gold miners). Daily it checks stock and bond trends. If stocks trend up it prefers TQQQ; if momentum is stretched or favors bonds, it shifts to Treasuries or a defensive mix (LSM). If stocks weaken or bonds falter, it rotates into Treasuries, the defensive mix, or shorts Treasuries. Big drops/pops trigger short‑term switches.
CheckmarkValue prop
Regime-driven mix of leveraged tech, Treasuries, and defensives. Out-of-sample: ~16.5% annualized return with positive risk-adjusted metrics (Sharpe ~0.56, Calmar ~0.42). Diversifies beyond the S&P with tax-friendly, K-1-free ETFs.

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.
