About

Switches between aggressive tech (QLD), safety (TLT or UUP), or defense (QID + XLP) using simple trend checks on SPY and an oversold signal. Aims to ride uptrends, hide in safe assets during wobbles, and go defensive in downtrends.
NutHow it works
Checked daily: If SPY (big US stocks) is above its 200‑day average price (average of last 200 days), buy QLD (2x Nasdaq‑100, tech‑heavy). Otherwise, if SPY’s 50‑day > 200‑day: use TLT (long US Treasuries) when TLT’s 50‑day > 200‑day; else UUP (U.S. dollar). Otherwise: if RSI(10) on SPY < 30 (very oversold), buy QLD; else split 50/50: QID (2x inverse Nasdaq) and XLP (consumer staples). Trades when signals change.
CheckmarkValue prop
Regime-switching strategy tilts into tech during uptrends and shifts to safety in wobbling markets, aiming higher upside with risk controls. Out-of-sample: ~43% annualized return vs ~23% for SPY; Calmar ~1.35; drawdowns ~32% vs ~19%.

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.
