About

Short innovation via SARK when Nasdaq looks “very hot” (10‑day RSI of QQQ or TQQQ > 80); otherwise sit in T‑Bills (BIL). Daily rebalanced, contrarian, mean‑reversion tilt.
NutHow it works
Each day the strategy checks a 10‑day “heat gauge” (RSI, 0–100) on two Nasdaq funds: QQQ (regular) and TQQQ (3× leveraged). Above 80 = very hot/overbought. If either is >80, buy SARK (moves opposite ARKK, which owns speculative innovation stocks). If not, hold BIL (T‑Bills). Rebalance daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~112% annualized return with only 2.36% max drawdown vs S&P’s 4.49%, negative beta, and Sharpe ~5.1. Higher risk-adjusted return and stronger downside protection than the S&P 500.

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.
