About

A daily, rules‑based switch between 3x long tech (BULZ), 3x short (BERZ), cash (BIL), or volatility (UVXY) using simple “heat,” trend, and bond‑health checks from Nasdaq and Treasury ETFs.
NutHow it works
It rotates daily among 3x long big‑tech (BULZ), 3x short big‑tech (BERZ), cash‑like T‑bills (BIL), or volatility (UVXY). It reads tech’s “heat” and trend (via TQQQ/QQQ) and a bond health gauge (BND/IEF/TLT/TMF). Very hot → short; very cold or uptrend with calm/strong bonds → long; stress → cash; crash‑bounce → UVXY.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample strategy targets higher growth via leveraged tech exposure with risk filters. Expected annualized return ~29.7% vs S&P ~21.7%. Be prepared for larger drawdowns (~52%), but hedges and cash buffers manage downside.

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.
