About

Rules that switch among QQQ, 2x QLD, inverse PSQ, SPY, and SHY using long‑term trend, short‑term “heat” (RSI), and moving‑average crossovers. Goal: ride tech uptrends, hedge or go inverse in chop, and buy sharp dips in downtrends.
NutHow it works
It rotates among: QQQ (big tech: AAPL/GOOG/TSLA), QLD (2x QQQ), PSQ (moves opposite QQQ), SPY (S&P 500), SHY (short‑term Treasuries). 1) If SPY is above its 200‑day average, hold QQQ unless QQQ is very hot (RSI>81) → PSQ. 2) If below: if QQQ is washed out (RSI<30) → QLD; else if SPY is washed out → SPY; else size QQQ vs PSQ/SHY using 4/6/20‑day averages to avoid whipsaws (pick PSQ or SHY by stronger recent RSI). RSI=0–100 “heat”; moving average=recent‑price average.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy delivers higher risk-adjusted returns than the S&P: Sharpe ~1.44 vs 1.41, annualized return ~36% vs ~23%, and Calmar ~1.44. It hedges and rotates to ride rallies and dampen chop (drawdowns may be larger).

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.
