About

Mostly hold QQQ when the market is in a long‑term uptrend; when things look overheated, switch to UVXY. In downtrends, buy deep dips or rotate among UVXY, short QQQ, bonds, and defensive staples using short‑term “hot/cold” signals and QQQ’s 20‑day trend.
NutHow it works
First check trend: is the S&P 500 (SPY) above its 200‑day average? If yes, hold QQQ (Nasdaq‑100) unless the last 10 days look very “hot” (>80), then briefly hold UVXY (fear rises when stocks wobble). If SPY is below trend, buy QQQ/SPY on very “cold” dips (<30). Otherwise, use short‑term “hot/cold” and QQQ’s 20‑day trend to toggle among UVXY, short QQQ (PSQ), or safer sleeves (BSV, TLT, XLP).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy beats the S&P on risk-adjusted returns: ~41% vs ~21% annualized, Sharpe ~1.73 vs ~1.29, Calmar ~2.25. Trend-following plus hedges aim for higher growth with downside protection.

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.
