About

A daily momentum switcher that rotates among leveraged tech (TQQQ/QLD), a hedge (PSQ), or short‑term Treasuries (BIL) by comparing bond strength (BIL vs TLT) and bond vs high‑beta stock strength (SBND vs HIBL) using an RSI “heat gauge.”
NutHow it works
It uses an RSI “heat gauge” of recent price moves to flip between: tech funds (TQQQ 3x or QLD 2x), a hedge (PSQ, −1x tech), or safety (BIL, short‑term US Treasuries). Step 1: compare short‑ vs long‑term Treasuries (BIL vs TLT). Step 2: check if the S&P 500 (SPY) is red‑hot. If hot, park in BIL; if not, use TQQQ. Otherwise, compare a bond fund (SBND) vs a turbo stock fund (HIBL). If stocks look stronger, hedge with PSQ; else use QLD. Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
RSI‑driven momentum rotation across Treasuries, leveraged tech, and hedges offers diversification and risk management for a broader portfolio. Given weaker out‑of‑sample results vs SPY, use as a satellite, not a core replacement.

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.
