About

Stays in cash-like T‑Bills when bonds lead; otherwise bets against big tech (QQQ). Uses RSI to compare momentum and a 20‑day average to choose mild (PSQ) or aggressive (SQQQ) inverse exposure.
NutHow it works
It’s a bearish, tactical switcher. RSI = a 0–100 score of recent up vs down days; higher = stronger momentum. 1) If bonds (BND) look stronger than a bear S&P fund (SH), sit in BIL (T‑Bills). 2) Else if bonds (AGG) beat big tech (QQQ), stay in BIL. 3) Else short QQQ: if TQQQ is above its 20‑day average (last 20 closes), use SQQQ (3× inverse); otherwise PSQ (1× inverse).
CheckmarkValue prop
Adds a disciplined risk-off hedge to S&P 500 exposure: sits in cash when bonds lead and only shorts tech on momentum, delivering negative market beta for diversification. Note: out-of-sample returns were modestly negative with higher drawdowns.

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.
