About

Daily, rules-based swings between QQQ, SHY, QLD, or UVXY using simple “hot/cold” readings and trend checks—contrarian bets at extremes, trend-following otherwise; tech-heavy when risk-on, Treasuries or volatility when risk-off.
NutHow it works
Each day the rules pick one of four stances: • If the Nasdaq-100 (QQQ) looks extremely “hot,” bet on a volatility spike with UVXY (all UVXY if the whole market is hot; otherwise 34% UVXY/66% SHY). • If QQQ looks washed out, buy 2x QQQ (QLD) for a rebound. • Otherwise, follow the trend: if the S&P 500 (SPY) is above its 108- or 34-day average, hold QQQ; if not, sit in SHY (short-term Treasuries).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy targets ~31.5% annual return vs ~23.9% for the S&P, with a Calmar around 4.0. It delivers stronger upside with disciplined risk-off/risk-on shifts and managed drawdowns.

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.
