About

A tech‑heavy, rules‑based strategy. It rides uptrends with 3x Nasdaq/tech ETFs, takes quick hedges when markets get “too hot,” and uses bonds’ trend to decide when to step back in or stay in cash/inverse funds. Goal: capture big up moves, sidestep big falls.
NutHow it works
Goal: ride tech uptrends, avoid deep drawdowns. - Risk‑on: when the market is above trend and calm, buy 3x tech/QQQ (TQQQ/TECL; sometimes SOXL). - Overheat: if RSI (a 0–100 “hot/cold” gauge) is very high or after a 1‑day pop > ~5–6%, hedge with SOXS or VIX funds (VIXY/UVXY) or sit in cash‑like BIL. - Selloffs: after quick drops (~6–10 days), if bonds look stronger than stocks, stay cautious/cash; otherwise try rebound buys. In bad tape, use inverse QQQ (PSQ/SQQQ). - A small module rotates into the strongest bull or bear ETFs.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy captures tech-driven uptrends with leverage and smart hedges, posting ~32.6% annualized vs SPY ~17.7% and a Calmar ~1.09. Expect higher drawdowns (~30% vs ~19%), but hedges and bond signals aim to protect risk and deliver stronger long-run alpha.

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.
