About

Two-sleeve tactical plan using TECL/TQQQ (3x tech/Nasdaq) and US Treasuries (SHY, IEF, TLT). In calm markets it buys the most beaten‑down pick; as volatility rises it shifts to SHY and, in storms, TLT.
NutHow it works
Your money is split into two equal sleeves. Each asks: how calm is the stock market (using SPY’s 1‑month volatility)? - If very calm, the sleeve buys 1 ETF that fell the most over ~1 month (a “recent‑moves” score called RSI: lower = more recently down). Choices: TECL/TQQQ plus a Treasury (IEF or SHY). - If not calm, it parks in Treasuries (SHY); in very rough markets, long Treasuries (TLT). Trades only when signals change (5% band).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~64.5% annualized vs SPY ~22%; Sharpe ~1.43; Calmar ~1.45. Two-sleeve regime-switching: beat-down tech in calm, Treasuries in volatility—higher upside with disciplined risk.

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.
