About

Tech-first, rules-based: long QQQ in healthy uptrends; when the market runs too hot, hedge with UVXY. In weak markets, it buys deep dips or shifts to inverse QQQ, staples, or Treasuries/short bonds using short-term signals.
NutHow it works
Goal: own tech (QQQ) most of the time, hedge or go defensive when risk rises. First it checks the trend: SPY above/below its 200‑day average (healthy vs weak). It uses a 10‑day RSI (0–100 heat gauge: >80 very hot; <30 very cold) and QQQ’s 20‑day average. Healthy: hold QQQ; if QQQ/SPY get very hot, switch briefly to UVXY (volatility spike play). Weak: buy deep dips (QQQ/SPY <30 RSI) or rotate among UVXY, PSQ (inverse QQQ), XLP (staples), TLT (Treasuries), or BSV (short bonds).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~39.5% annualized return vs SPY ~20.6%, with ~18.2% max drawdown (vs ~18.8%). Sharpe 1.70 vs 1.29; Calmar 2.16. A tech-led, rules-based strategy that grows in uptrends and hedges near spikes, delivering superior risk-adjusted returns.

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.
