About

Own QQQ when the Nasdaq‑100 trends up. When it weakens, rotate into whichever looks stronger among gold, an anti‑beta market‑neutral fund, a managed‑futures fund, or T‑bills—sometimes using 3× QQQ or 3× inverse QQQ. Rebalances daily.
NutHow it works
Daily check: Is QQQ (Nasdaq‑100) above its ~8‑month average? If yes, own QQQ. If not, a defense playbook picks what’s stronger now: GLD (gold), BTAL (anti‑beta, market‑neutral stocks), KMLM (managed‑futures trends), or BIL (T‑bills). It judges recent momentum using simple tools (moving averages, recent returns, RSI). In a few cases it uses 3× QQQ (TQQQ) or 3× inverse QQQ (SQQQ) for offense/hedge. Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Outperforms the S&P on risk-adjusted terms: ~32.9% OOS annualized return vs ~28.7%, Sharpe ≈ 2.07, Calmar ≈ 4.17. When QQQ weakens, it pivots to defensive diversifiers (gold, BTAL, KMLM, cash) to protect downside and chase upside.

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.
