About

Mainly hold QQQ in uptrends. When prices are short‑term overheated, pivot to UVXY to catch fear spikes. In downtrends, buy severe dips or switch among UVXY, short QQQ (PSQ), Treasuries (TLT/BSV), or Staples (XLP) based on momentum.
NutHow it works
Plain English: It mostly rides big tech via QQQ. Trend check: if the S&P 500 (SPY) is above its 200‑day average, it holds QQQ—unless short‑term “heat” (10‑day RSI, a 0–100 up‑vs‑down meter) is extreme, then it briefly buys UVXY (jumps when fear spikes). If SPY is below the 200‑day average, it buys deep dips (RSI<30) or rotates among UVXY, short QQQ (PSQ), Treasuries (TLT/BSV), or Staples (XLP) using RSI and QQQ’s 20‑day average.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~39% annualized return vs SPY ~20%, Sharpe ~1.70 vs ~1.29, Calmar ~2.16, and smaller drawdown (~18.23% vs 18.76%). Tech core with hedges (UVXY/PSQ/TLT/XLP) for bigger upside with controlled risk.

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.
