About

A tactical QQQ strategy: ride uptrends, buy dips, and hedge or move to cash/short when markets get overheated or volatility spikes. Uses RSI as a heat gauge and KMLM as a macro filter; may add VIX hedges, Treasuries, or gold. Rebalanced daily.
NutHow it works
Own QQQ when trend is up (SPY above its 200‑day average). RSI (a 0–100 “speedometer” of recent moves) guides timing: >~80 = too hot → add VIX hedges (UVXY/VXX/VIXY/VIXM) or gold; <~30 = washed out → buy QQQ. If volatility surges, step up hedges (UVXY/UVIX, BTAL/USMV), sometimes hold cash (BIL) or short QQQ (PSQ). KMLM (managed‑futures trend fund) filters macro regime: weak → tighter risk; strong → more QQQ. Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Near-SPY upside, dramatically lower risk: oos drawdown 7.7% vs SPY 13.7%; Calmar 3.95; Sharpe ~1.40; beta 0.71. Annualized return ~30.3% vs SPY ~31.5%. Dynamic hedging and daily rebalance offer safer, resilient growth.

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.
