About

A rule‑driven, tech‑focused strategy that rides uptrends with QQQ/TQQQ and auto‑hedges. It uses a simple “heat” gauge (RSI), trend filters, and volatility hedges (UVXY, UUP/GLD, Treasuries). In downturns it de‑risks and can short. High risk/active.
NutHow it works
Rules-based, tech‑heavy trend rider with crash hedges. In uptrends (S&P above 200‑day avg) it owns Nasdaq‑100 via QQQ or 3x QQQ (TQQQ). If moves look overheated/weak (RSI, a 0–100 “heat” gauge: >~80 hot, <~31 cold), it trims risk or briefly buys UVXY (spikes when fear rises). In selloffs it steps TQQQ→QQQ→defensives: US dollar (UUP), gold (GLD), Treasuries (TMF), or hedges (PSQ/SH/SQQQ). Focus: tech; some S&P 500, plus small, trend‑based VEA/EEM. Uses leveraged/inverse ETFs—high risk.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return ~58% vs S&P ~27%, Calmar ~3.12—strong risk-adjusted gains. A rules-based, tech‑heavy strategy that rides uptrends and uses crash hedges to outperform the S&P with controlled risk.

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.
