About

A daily, rules‑based Nasdaq‑focused strategy: long 3x Nasdaq (TQQQ) in uptrends, flips to 3x inverse (SQQQ) or Treasuries/volatility when overheated or risk‑off; otherwise holds a momentum‑weighted basket of mega‑cap tech. Very volatile.
NutHow it works
Daily, it pivots around the Nasdaq‑100. - Trend: If the S&P 500 is above its 200‑day average, stay risk‑on; otherwise rotate to 3x inverse Nasdaq (SQQQ) or long Treasuries (EDV). - In uptrends, read short‑term “heat” (RSI = simple gauge of recent up vs down days). Too hot → park in volatility (UVXY) or 3x Treasuries (TMF). Too cold → buy 3x Nasdaq (TQQQ) or 3x Tech (TECL). - Else use dip rules: after a sharp 5‑day drop, short unless it’s truly washed‑out; if not dropping, short when extremely hot and buy when very cold; if in‑between, hold a momentum‑weighted mix of AAPL, MSFT, AMZN, TSLA, NVDA, AMD, TSM (recent 12‑day winners get bigger weights). Rebalances daily; leveraged/inverse = high volatility.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this Nasdaq-driven strategy delivers ~72% annualized return vs SPY’s ~23%, with Sharpe ~1.44 and Calmar ~1.93 (vs ~1.23). Higher upside and disciplined risk controls with hedges against drawdowns.

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.
