About

An aggressive, daily “switchboard” that picks one playbook, then rotates among leveraged tech (TQQQ), long Treasuries (TMF), defensives (short‑term bonds/cash), or inverse funds (QID/SH/PSQ) using a 200‑day trend gate and short‑term “hot/cold” (RSI) signals.
NutHow it works
Daily it picks one of three playbooks (tech‑heavy, bonds‑vs‑shorts, or sector timing) by recent return/risk, then runs that playbook. Tools: 200‑day average (trend) and RSI—0–100 “hot/cold” (<~30 washed‑out, >~80 overheated). In uptrends it holds TQQQ (3x Nasdaq) unless overheated (then TMF, 3x Treas.). In weak/downtrends it parks in short‑term bonds/cash (SHY/BSV/BIL) or goes inverse (QID/SH/PSQ). It can also rotate into XLK (Tech), XLP (Staples), XLU (Utilities).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: ~48.4% annualized return vs SPY ~21.7%; max drawdown ~36.8% vs ~18.8% for SPY; Calmar ~1.32. A rules-based, trend+RSI rotation that seeks bigger upside with disciplined risk controls.

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.
