About

Daily rotation between two 3x funds—TQQQ (tech/Nasdaq‑100) and DFEN (aerospace & defense)—based on which had the stronger 90‑day return. Meant to favor defense in wartime and tech in bull markets; very high risk due to leverage.
NutHow it works
Each day, it looks back 90 days and asks: which rose more—TQQQ or DFEN? TQQQ seeks 3x the daily move of the tech‑heavy Nasdaq‑100. DFEN seeks 3x the daily move of U.S. aerospace & defense stocks. It holds the one with the stronger 3‑month return until the other takes the lead. Very high risk due to 3x leverage.
CheckmarkValue prop
Rides tech and defense trends with strong risk-adjusted upside vs S&P. OOS Calmar ~6.45 and ~190% annualized return from daily 3x rotation between TQQQ and DFEN. Expect larger drawdowns (~29.6%), but potential for outsized regime-driven 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.
