About

A daily, rules‑driven switcher: owns TQQQ in uptrends, flips to SOXL/SOXS to play sharp semiconductor swings, or defends with 60% BTAL + 40% SQQQ when risk spikes. After strong S&P rallies, it parks in the strongest YieldMax single‑stock income ETF. Uses simple “heat,” trend, and drawdown checks.
NutHow it works
Daily, it checks simple “heat” (RSI), trend (moving averages), and risk (drawdowns/volatility). If the S&P hasn’t surged, it runs a tactical playbook: ride uptrends with TQQQ (3x Nasdaq), trade semis after big swings (SOXL or SOXS), or go defensive (60% BTAL + 40% SQQQ). If the S&P has been strong, it instead holds one YieldMax income ETF (linked to AAPL/MSFT/NVDA/TSLA/XOM) with the best recent strength. RSI = 0–100 heat of recent up vs down days.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~61% annualized return vs SPY ~23.5%, Calmar ~1.48. Higher growth, but larger drawdowns (~41% vs ~19%). Tactical Nasdaq/semis leverage with hedges and yields—suited for growth-focused investors who can endure volatility.

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.
