About

A rules-based, daily strategy that rides QQQ (big tech) when it’s trending up, buys sharp dips in QQQ, and otherwise parks in defensive funds (XLP or VBF). It blends trend-following with buy-the-dip logic. Current setup concentrates on QQQ.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks QQQ—an index fund of big tech firms (Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia). If QQQ’s 50‑day average price is above its 200‑day average and recent gains are positive, it holds QQQ. If not, it buys QQQ only after a sharp two‑week drop; otherwise it shifts to a defensive fund: either XLP (everyday‑goods companies) or VBF (investment‑grade bonds), picking the one that has fallen more recently. SPY/TLT versions are present but inactive.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy prioritizes risk control and durable growth: drawdown 3.94% vs SPY 5.07%, Sharpe 1.33 vs 2.40, Calmar 2.88. Returns 11.36% vs 27.93% for SPY—better capital protection for long-term compounding.

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.
