About

A daily, tech‑tilted swing strategy. It shifts among mega‑cap stocks, Nasdaq ETFs, T‑bills, and volatility using simple “overbought/oversold” gauges, then picks 1–2 laggard/volatile versions across many lookbacks. Very aggressive due to leveraged/inverse funds.
NutHow it works
Think of RSI as a 0–100 speedometer of recent moves: 80+ = very hot; ~30 = washed out. - If QQQ/SPY look “too hot” (RSI>80), move to defense: VXX (volatility) or BIL (T‑bills). - If Nasdaq is very oversold (TQQQ RSI<31), buy QLD (2x Nasdaq). - Else, if bonds (IEF) look steadier than short‑Nasdaq (PSQ), own one big tech stock (MSFT/AMZN/GOOG/AAPL/TSLA). If not, hold 50/50 FNGD (3x inverse FANG+) + QLD. - It runs many lookbacks (1–10 weeks) and picks 1–2 laggard/volatile versions. Rebalances daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this tech-heavy swing strategy targets higher upside via mega-cap rotation and hedges. Annualized return ~21.84% vs S&P 500 ~21.51%; drawdowns can be larger (≈42%), but Calmar ~0.52 signals favorable long-run risk-adjusted potential.

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.
