About

Rides tech rallies with TQQQ when trends are healthy, parks in T‑bills when bonds look stronger, and occasionally flips into crash‑hedges (UVXY/SQQQ/TLT) when markets overheat or drop fast. Uses leveraged/volatility ETFs—expect big swings.
NutHow it works
Two parts. 1) A bond‑vs‑stock voting panel decides risk. If stocks lead, it turns on an aggressive engine; if bonds lead, it parks in T‑bills (BIL). 2) The engine: in uptrends (price > 200‑day avg) it rides TQQQ (3× Nasdaq‑100). If things get too hot (RSI, a 0–100 heat gauge) or roll over, it briefly swaps to UVXY (volatility), SQQQ (inverse 3× Nasdaq) or TLT (Treasuries).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy offers big upside with a tighter risk-adjusted profile: ~42.9% annualized return vs ~17% for the S&P, Sharpe ~1.07 and Calmar ~1.12, driven by agile levered tech exposure and disciplined crash hedges.

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.
