About

A daily, rules-based QQQ strategy: ride uptrends, step into Treasuries when things look “too hot,” and in weak markets switch among bonds, cash-like T‑bills, or short/leveraged QQQ. Occasionally tilts to semiconductors when they lead.
NutHow it works
Daily checklist: 1) Is the broad market (SPY) above its long-term trend? If yes, own QQQ unless it’s overheated, then park in long Treasuries (TLT). 2) If the market isn’t healthy, use QQQ’s short-term trend plus “hot/cold” gauges to choose among QQQ, bonds (TLT/IEF), cash-like T‑bills (SHV), or shorting QQQ (PSQ/QID). 3) In deep selloffs, tactically use leveraged long/short QQQ or a semiconductor tilt (SMH/USD).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample return: 25.08% vs SPY 20.82%; Calmar ~1.08 across 671 days. A rules-based, tech-focused strategy with dynamic Treasuries/cash hedges seeks higher upside than the S&P while offering risk controls—though drawdowns can be larger.

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.
