About

Daily, it toggles among Tech (XLK), cash‑like T‑bills (BIL), or a mild short of the Nasdaq‑100 (PSQ). It uses short‑term “heat/cold” readings and 63‑day leadership of Tech vs Utilities, plus a 200‑day trend filter on the S&P 500.
NutHow it works
Each day the strategy checks simple signals: - If QQQ or SPY are very “hot” (10‑day RSI, a 0–100 speed‑of‑moves gauge, is ~80+), it sits in cash‑like T‑bills (BIL). - If QQQ is very “cold” (RSI < 30), it buys Tech (XLK). - Else, if Tech’s 63‑day strength beats Utilities, it buys XLK. - Otherwise, if the S&P 500 is above its 200‑day average, it holds BIL; if below, it uses PSQ (inverse Nasdaq‑100). Tickers: QQQ=Nasdaq‑100; SPY=S&P 500; XLK=Tech; XLU=Utilities; BIL=T‑bills; PSQ=−1x Nasdaq‑100.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy offers a smoother, risk-managed path to growth: ~12.8% annualized return with max drawdown ~14.7% vs SPY ~18.8%, beta ~0.48, Calmar ~0.87— delivering stronger risk-adjusted upside and resilience vs the S&P 500.

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.
