About

Rules-based, daily. Rides uptrends with 2x stock ETFs (QLD/SSO) and rotates to hedges (PSQ/BTAL) when prices get too hot or stress rises. Uses trend, RSI, and macro cues from bonds, the dollar, and commodities to sidestep selloffs.
NutHow it works
Daily rules flip between offense and defense. Offense = QLD (2x Nasdaq) or SSO (2x S&P) when the market trends up. Defense = PSQ (short Nasdaq) or BTAL (anti‑beta) when risk rises. Gauges used: trend (price vs 200‑day avg) and RSI (a 0–100 “heat” meter: high=overbought, low=oversold). Bonds (TIP/IEF/EDV), the dollar (UUP), and commodities (FTGC) add “stress” signals. Sharp drops trigger fast crash‑hedges; rebounds shift back to stocks.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this rules-based strategy delivered higher risk-adjusted returns and smaller drawdowns vs the S&P by riding uptrends with 2x ETFs (QLD/SSO) and hedging with PSQ/BTAL when risk rises.

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.
