About

A daily tactical strategy: ride QQQ/TQQQ in uptrends, hedge or flip to PSQ/VIXY when signals show stress, and sometimes rotate into gold, sectors, or a concentrated quality stock basket. Bond and inflation signals steer risk on/off.
NutHow it works
It’s a daily, rules‑based switcher. When trends look healthy, it rides growth via QQQ (TQQQ is a 3x version). If markets look overheated or start dropping, it flips to PSQ (short QQQ) or adds VIXY (volatility hedge). It may also use GLD (gold) or sector funds (XLK tech, XLF financials) for bounces. Bond and inflation gauges (BND/AGG/TLT/IEF vs cash BIL; RINF) can shift it into a 4‑stock quality basket (LLY, NVO, COST, plus PGR or GE).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy aims for higher upside than the S&P 500: ~25.8% annualized vs ~19.1%, with a strong Calmar (~1.17) and positive alpha. It hedges stress (VIXY/PSQ) and uses regime signals; drawdowns can be higher (~22% vs ~19%).

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.
