About

Rules-based, tactical plan: ride TQQQ in uptrends, flip to UVXY during overheated spikes to catch selloffs, and move to Treasuries, short Nasdaq, or cash when bonds lead or the trend weakens. Uses leveraged funds; expect high volatility and risk.
NutHow it works
It checks market health with two gauges: trend (is the S&P 500 above its 200‑day average?) and who’s stronger—bonds or the Nasdaq‑100. If healthy, it rides TQQQ (3x Nasdaq‑100). If things look too “hot,” it briefly flips to UVXY (volatility). If weak, it buys dips (TECL/UPRO) or goes defensive with SQQQ (short Nasdaq), TLT (Treasuries), or cash‑like BIL/BSV. Multiple bond tests scale risk.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy aims for higher upside (≈39% vs 17% SPY) with similar risk-adjusted return (Sharpe ≈1.0) and positive alpha, via tactical leverage, volatility hedges, and bond filters. Note higher drawdowns (~38% vs 19%).

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.
