About

Rules-based, two-mode strategy: buy 3× Nasdaq‑100 on tech selloffs, short it on extreme run-ups, and otherwise split across three trend rules that pick leveraged tech, long Treasuries, or short Treasuries, with a T‑Bill buffer.
NutHow it works
Two modes. 1) Short-term “pops”: if the tech sector fund (XLK) looks washed-out (RSI<29), hold 66% a 3× Nasdaq‑100 fund (TQQQ) + 34% T‑Bills (BIL). If XLK looks overheated (RSI>80), hold 66% the 3× inverse (SQQQ) + 34% BIL. 2) Otherwise, split equally across three rules that flip between TQQQ/BIL, long US Treasuries (EDV or 3× TMF), or a fund that rises when Treasuries fall (TBT), using longer‑term tech‑vs‑utilities and bond‑vs‑stock strength. RSI is a 0–100 “heat” gauge.
CheckmarkValue prop
Adaptive two-mode strategy blends leveraged tech bets with cash/bond hedges. Out-of-sample it shows a measurable risk-adjusted profile (Calmar ~0.49; Sharpe ~0.60) and diversification beyond SPY across market regimes.

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.
