About

Flips between offense (100% TQQQ, a 3x long Nasdaq fund) and defense (80% T‑Bills via BIL + 20% SQQQ, a 3x short Nasdaq fund) using a trend filter, a bond‑vs‑Nasdaq strength test, and a short‑term “overheated” check.
NutHow it works
It’s a switch. 1) Trend check: is QQQ (Nasdaq‑100) rising? (50‑ vs 200‑day average). 2) Risk checks: (a) a recent‑strength score (RSI) compares IEF (Treasuries) to a Nasdaq proxy (PSQ or QLD); (b) is SPY “too hot” (RSI(7) > 69)? If either risk flag is on: 80% BIL + 20% SQQQ. Else: 100% TQQQ.
CheckmarkValue prop
Two-state Nasdaq strategy with a disciplined risk overlay. OOS return ~20.5% vs S&P 21.8%, but it adds diversification and a defined defense in hot or volatile markets through trend filters and a cash-like overlay.

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.
