About

A daily switch between QQQ (long Nasdaq) and PSQ (short Nasdaq) using overbought/oversold, trend, interest‑rate, dollar, commodity, and volatility cues. Buy dips with confirmation, fade euphoric spikes, and stay defensive when trends weaken.
NutHow it works
Each day it holds one fund: QQQ (owns the biggest Nasdaq tech stocks) or PSQ (moves opposite QQQ). It reads simple “heat” gauges: RSI (a hot/cold meter: ~70+ overheated, ~30− washed‑out), price vs 200‑day trend, and stress cues from bonds, the dollar, commodities, and volatility. If markets look euphoric it flips to PSQ; after sell‑offs (with trend/bond confirmation) it buys QQQ.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~30% annual return vs S&P ~25%, with lower drawdown (~14.8% vs ~18.8%) and Calmar ~2.0. Rules-based, unlevered QQQ/PSQ switching captures Nasdaq upside while hedging euphoric/risk regimes.

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.
