About

Daily, it mostly rides leveraged Nasdaq‑100 (QLD) when markets trend up, and quickly hedges or shorts when overheated or weak. A smaller sleeve rotates among QLD/SSO, short QQQ, bonds, or USD using short‑term hot/cold signals and trend checks.
NutHow it works
Two sleeves. 80% rides a 2x Nasdaq‑100 fund (QLD) when the S&P 500 is in an uptrend (price above its 200‑day average price), but trims or flips to a QQQ short when it’s too hot. 20% rotates daily among QLD/SSO, a QQQ short, short‑term bonds, or the U.S. dollar using short‑term “heat” scores (RSI: 0–100) and quick trend checks. Tickers: QLD (2x QQQ), SSO (2x S&P 500), QID/PSQ (short QQQ), BSV (short bonds), UUP (U.S. dollar).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return ~33% vs S&P 500 ~24%, with ~1.03 Sharpe. A two-sleeve, rules-based strategy capturing Nasdaq upside and hedging in heat. Higher upside but larger drawdowns—suitable for volatility-tolerant investors.

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.
