About

Rides tech strength with 2× QLD in uptrends, hedges when overheated, buys major dips, and otherwise blends QQQ with PSQ or SHY to avoid chop—using market trend, a “heat” gauge (RSI), and short-term trend checks.
NutHow it works
Step 1: Check the market’s “weather.” If the S&P 500 (SPY) is above its 200‑day average (long‑term trend), it’s an uptrend; otherwise a downtrend. Step 2: Use a heat meter (RSI, 0–100; >80 = very hot, <30 = washed‑out) and short‑term trend (price/MAs) to decide: ride tech with QLD, hedge with PSQ, buy dips in QLD or SPY when washed‑out, or mix QQQ with PSQ/SHY until trends improve.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this Nasdaq-led strategy delivers ~61% annualized return vs SPY ~25%, with Calmar ~1.68 and Sharpe ~1.48. It leverages uptrends (2x QLD) and hedges when overheated, targeting bigger gains with controlled risk.

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.
