About

Own Apple most of the time. When the market weakens, buy QQQ on sharp selloffs or switch to PSQ (inverse QQQ) or BSV (short‑term bonds) when tech stays weak. Uses trend and RSI signals to sidestep big drops while keeping trades low.
NutHow it works
1) Check market trend with SPY (S&P 500 fund). If its 21‑day average price is above its 210‑day average, hold Apple (AAPL). 2) Otherwise, look at QQQ (big‑tech fund). If its RSI (0–100 “heat” gauge; <30 = very sold off) is <30, buy QQQ. 3) Else, if QQQ is below its 20‑day average, hold whichever is stronger now: PSQ (moves up when QQQ falls) or BSV (short‑term bonds). 4) Otherwise, hold Apple. Rechecked daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return ~25% vs SPY ~19%, powered by an Apple-first core with tech-tactical hedges. Strong risk-adjusted profile (Calmar ~1.14) and disciplined drawdown controls, offering higher upside with measured risk versus 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.
