About

In uptrends it holds a concentrated basket of AI/mega‑cap tech plus QQQ. In downtrends it tactically flips among leveraged long/short Nasdaq‑100 or S&P 500 ETFs using short‑term momentum (RSI) and trend filters, sometimes parking in T‑bills. High risk from leverage and concentration.
NutHow it works
Step 1: Market check. Is the S&P 500 (SPY) above its 200‑day average (avg price over ~10 months)? If yes, buy a concentrated AI/growth mix (NVDA, MSFT, AMZN, ASML, META, TSM, NFLX, GOOGL) plus QQQ (big‑tech index). Step 2: If not, use short‑term momentum (RSI: 0–100 recent up‑vs‑down score) and 20‑day trends to switch among TQQQ (3× up QQQ), SQQQ (3× down), SPXS/SPXU (3× down S&P), PSQ (1× down QQQ), or cash‑like BIL. Bond ETFs (BND, TLT, IEF) act as risk gauges.
CheckmarkValue prop
Outperforms SPY on out-of-sample tests: ~32.8% annualized return vs 17.9%; Sharpe ~1.22 vs 1.01; Calmar ~1.67. Drawdown ~19.6% vs 18.8%. Regime-switching tech focus aims for big upside with solid risk-adjusted protection.

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.
