About

Switches between aggressive tech (QLD), safety (TLT or UUP), or defense (QID + XLP) based on SPY trends and an oversold signal (RSI). Goal: ride uptrends, hide when weak, and occasionally buy sharp dips.
NutHow it works
It first checks SPY (S&P 500 fund) vs its 200‑day average price. Above = uptrend → buy QLD (2x fund tied to tech‑heavy Nasdaq‑100). Below: if SPY’s 50‑day avg > 200‑day, hide in TLT (long US Treasuries); but if TLT is weak, use UUP (US dollar). If 50‑day ≤ 200‑day: if RSI(10)<30 (oversold momentum gauge 0–100), bet on a bounce with QLD; else split QID (2x inverse Nasdaq‑100) and XLP (consumer‑staples).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this regime-switching strategy delivers ~41.8% annualized return vs ~23.1% for the S&P, with solid risk-adjusted metrics (Calmar ~1.31, Sharpe ~1.15). It exploits tech rallies and hedges risk for bigger, smarter upside.

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.
