About

A daily, rules-based mix that rotates among Nasdaq growth (QQQ/TQQQ), a low‑volatility blue‑chip basket (LLY, NVO, COST, PGR/GE), and hedges (PSQ, VIXY, cash, GLD) using simple “overheated/oversold,” trend, inflation, and bond vs cash signals.
NutHow it works
Every day it asks: are stocks overheated or washed out (using a “recent speed” gauge called RSI—high = too hot, low = too cold)? If too hot, it buys VIXY (benefits when volatility jumps). If too cold, it buys tech/financials (XLK/XLF) for a bounce. Otherwise it flips between growth (QQQ/TQQQ) and a defensive mix (LLY, NVO, COST + PGR/GE) using inflation trend (RINF), bond vs cash strength (BND/IEF/TLT vs BIL), and the S&P 500’s 200‑day trend. In downtrends it shifts to PSQ or cash; sometimes gold (GLD).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy delivers ~24.6% annualized vs ~19.2% for the S&P, with lower beta (~0.85) and Calmar ~1.11 and Sharpe ~1.03. Regime-switching and hedges target higher upside with tempered market 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.
