About

A daily, cash‑first system that parks in T‑bills and only takes brief shots in leveraged tech (mainly TECL) when trend and volatility look friendly. It avoids overheated “pops” and uses TQQQ as a thermometer for extremes. K‑1 free holdings.
NutHow it works
Each day it picks “cash” (BIL, a T‑bill ETF) or a short, high‑octane bet (usually TECL, a 3× tech ETF; sometimes UPRO or Treasury ETFs). It only bets when: tech leads defensives, prices are above their 25‑day average, and volatility (VIXY) is calming. RSI (a 0–100 “hot/cold” score) guards against chasing; if things look overheated or the Nasdaq “thermometer” (TQQQ) just spiked >~5.5% in a day, it steps to BIL. After fast drops (~‑12% in 6 days) it may try small rebounds; otherwise BIL.
CheckmarkValue prop
High upside with a disciplined cash-first approach. OOS annualized return ~28.8% vs S&P ~22.6%; brief, regime-tuned tech bets with strict risk checks. Expect higher drawdowns (~40%), but outsized growth potential.

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.
