About

A rules-based switch between QQQ (big tech) and a bond fund. Uses SPY moving averages to judge trend and RSI to spot oversold dips, aiming to ride tech uptrends and step aside in deeper selloffs. Checked daily; concentrated, not diversified.
NutHow it works
Each day the rules pick one fund: - If U.S. stocks are in an uptrend (SPY’s 21‑day average is above its 210‑day), buy QQQ (a big‑tech Nasdaq‑100 fund). - If not, but QQQ looks “oversold” (RSI—how fast it has fallen—below 30), still buy QQQ. - Else, if SPY is above its 31‑day average, buy QQQ. - Otherwise hold VBF (an investment‑grade bond fund). Exposure: QQQ = large U.S. tech/growth; VBF = high‑quality bonds.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~40% annualized return vs ~32% for the S&P, with a Calmar ~5.1. A rules-based QQQ-vs-bonds rotation captures tech upside while defending in downturns, delivering higher long-run growth with disciplined risk control.

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.
