About

Aggressively rides tech via 100% 3x‑long Nasdaq (TQQQ) when conditions look healthy, but switches to 80% T‑Bills (BIL) + 20% 3x‑short Nasdaq (SQQQ) when “too hot” signals appear. Uses a QQQ 50/200‑day trend filter and simple RSI heat checks.
NutHow it works
Trend: If QQQ’s 50‑day average price is above its 200‑day, treat it as an up‑trend; otherwise, down‑trend. Heat check (RSI = 0–100 “hot/cold” score): compare 7–10y Treasuries (IEF) to PSQ (short tech) in up‑trends, or to QLD (2x long tech) in down‑trends. If that check, or SPY’s 7‑day RSI>69, says “too hot,” go defensive: 80% BIL (T‑Bills)+20% SQQQ (3x short Nasdaq). Otherwise go aggressive: 100% TQQQ (3x long Nasdaq).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy targets higher long-term growth (~24% vs SPY’s ~21%), with a risk-off shield. Note: max drawdown ~64%, so suitable for investors with high risk tolerance seeking tech upside.

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.
