About

A daily, rules‑based “voting” portfolio across SPY, QQQ, and Semiconductors that shifts among 3x bull, unlevered, inverse, or bonds using trend, momentum, RSI, volatility, dip‑buys, and bond signals. Aggressive, tech‑tilted, and highly active.
NutHow it works
Daily, three sleeves (SPY=S&P 500, QQQ=Nasdaq‑100, SMH=Semis) cast 8 “votes”: trend (price vs moving averages), momentum, “buy the dip,” volatility, long‑term trend, RSI (0–100 gauge of how stretched prices are), and bond‑market checks. Each vote chooses: 3x bull (SPXL/TQQQ/SOXL), normal (SPY/QQQ/SMH), hedge (SH/PSQ/SSG), or short‑term bonds (BSV/SHY/BND/BIL). Votes are averaged within each sleeve, then across sleeves.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this daily, rules-based 3-sleeve voting strategy aims for superior risk-adjusted gains vs the S&P 500: annualized return ~151%, Sharpe ~2.60 vs 2.37, Calmar ~8.05, plus bond hedges and leveraged tech exposure.

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.
