About

Daily, it rides QQQ in uptrends, buys 2x QQQ on sharp dips, and shifts to volatility/defensive funds when QQQ is overheated or the market trends down. Goal: beat QQQ by catching rebounds and sidestepping pullbacks.
NutHow it works
Each day it chooses among: QQQ (big tech index), QLD (2x QQQ), BTAL (defensive: benefits when high‑risk stocks lag), and VIXY/UVXY (volatility funds that jump when markets fall). It uses two gauges: RSI (a 10‑day “heat” score) and moving averages (30/200‑day trend lines). If QQQ is very hot (RSI>79): if volatility is very calm (VIXY RSI<40) buy UVXY, else split VIXY+BTAL. Otherwise: if QQQ is very oversold (RSI<30) buy QLD; else follow SPY’s trend: above 200d or 30d ⇒ QQQ, else BTAL.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample return: 32.7% vs 25.6% for the S&P. Calmar 4.14 signals strong risk-adjusted upside; Sharpe ~2.04 (S&P ~2.24). Hedged, trend-driven exposure aims for higher growth with disciplined risk management.

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.
