About

A rules-based swing between tech momentum, low-volatility stocks, and hedges. It reads short-term “stretched vs. sold off” signals on QQQ, checks market turbulence, and when neutral uses SPY’s trend to choose low-vol, momentum, or hedges.
NutHow it works
RSI is a 0–100 score of how “stretched vs. sold off” price has been lately. 1) If QQQ’s 10‑day RSI < 30: if UVXY (a fear gauge) has been very jumpy, buy TQQQ (turbo Nasdaq). Otherwise split USMV (steady stocks) + SPMO (recent winners). 2) If QQQ’s RSI > 80: hold VIXY (spikes in selloffs) + BTAL (long boring, short flashy). 3) Else use SPY’s 60‑day RSI: >60 SPLV; <50 USMV; else SPMO.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~39.4% annualized return vs 18.9% for the S&P 500, with strong risk‑adjusted metrics (Calmar ~1.67, alpha ~0.081). Uses tactical hedges to seek bigger upside, accepting higher drawdowns (~23.6%).

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.
