About

A daily, bear‑market strategy: sit in T‑Bills when markets are healthy; when weak, toggle between long and short Nasdaq (sometimes 2x leverage) using simple trend, momentum (RSI), and bond‑market signals, with a crash‑mode safety/rebound rule.
NutHow it works
Legend: QQQ=Nasdaq‑100; QLD=2x long QQQ; PSQ/QID=short QQQ (1x/2x); SPY=S&P 500; BIL=T‑Bills; TLT/IEF/AGG/BND=bonds; SH=short S&P. RSI (0–100) = momentum; <30 = “oversold”. Daily: If SPY > 200‑day avg → BIL. If not, use QQQ’s trend (vs 20‑day avg), RSI, and bond strength to flip between long QQQ/QLD, short PSQ/QID, or SPY. In ~−12% drops, hide in BIL or try a QLD rebound if bonds lead.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge vs the S&P 500: 17.9% annualized return vs SPY’s ~19.6%, but smaller drawdowns (16.5% vs 18.8%) and Calmar ~1.08 vs ~1.04. Bear-market rules + bond overlays offer stronger downside protection with upside 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.
