About

A daily rules-based switcher for tech. It rides Nasdaq uptrends (TQQQ), trades semiconductor extremes (SOXL/SOXS), and shifts to a defensive hedge (BTAL+SQQQ) when big drops or shaky bonds signal higher risk.
NutHow it works
It switches daily among: TQQQ (3x long Nasdaq), SOXL/SOXS (3x long/short semiconductors), and a defensive mix BTAL+SQQQ. It reads simple cues: hot/cold (RSI), trend (25‑day average), big drops/pops, and bond‑market health. In uptrends it rides TQQQ; in selloffs it buys SOXL or shorts with SOXS; in riskier times it parks in BTAL+SQQQ.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return ≈25% vs SPY ≈23%, driven by agile tech/semis exposure and hedging. Higher upside, but larger drawdowns and lower risk-adjusted return—best for investors who tolerate volatility for bigger long-run gains.

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.
