About

A daily, winner-take-all switch between 3x tech (TQQQ) and 3x aerospace/defense (DFEN) based on which performed better over the past 90 days. High risk and potentially frequent trading.
NutHow it works
Each day, it compares how much two funds gained over the last 90 days and owns the recent winner 100%. - TQQQ: aims for 3x the daily move of the tech‑heavy Nasdaq‑100 (Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, etc.). - DFEN: aims for 3x the daily move of U.S. aerospace & defense stocks (Lockheed, Boeing, etc.). Very high risk; switches can be frequent.
CheckmarkValue prop
3x-leveraged, momentum-driven rotation between tech and defense ETFs aims for big upside when trends run. Out-of-sample annualized return ~256% vs ~30% for the S&P; Sharpe ~2.69 vs 2.56, Calmar ~8.65. Higher drawdowns, higher potential rewards.

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.
