About

Rules-based plan around QQQ: ride strength, scale down or hedge when the trend weakens, and buy sharp dips (sometimes with 2× QLD). Uses SPY’s 200‑day trend, QQQ’s 20‑day trend, and a 10‑day “hot/cold” RSI to adapt.
NutHow it works
It mainly rides QQQ (Nasdaq‑100), hedges with PSQ (the opposite of QQQ), or parks in SHY (short‑term Treasuries). It checks: - Big trend: SPY above/below its 200‑day average. - Short trend: QQQ vs its 20‑day average (plus 4‑ and 6‑day). - Hot/cold meter (RSI10): >81 = very hot, <30 = very cold. Tickers: QQQ=Nasdaq‑100, SPY=S&P 500, QLD=2× QQQ, PSQ=−1× QQQ, SHY=short‑term Treasuries.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return 32.38% vs SPY 23.30%, Calmar 1.28, Sharpe ~1.31. A regime-aware Nasdaq-tilted strategy with hedges seeks bigger upside while controlling risk vs the S&P 500—though drawdowns can be larger in downturns.

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.
