About

A daily, rules‑driven switch that uses trend and “heat” gauges to rotate among 2× S&P (SSO), tech (QQQ/TECL), inverse QQQ (PSQ), Treasuries (IEF/BSV/SHV), or gold (GLD). Seeks upside participation while stepping aside when markets look overheated.
NutHow it works
Core idea: switch daily among a few ETFs for growth with safety. - Trend: If S&P 500 is above its 200‑day avg, play offense; below, play defense. - Heat (RSI, a 0–100 “overheated/washed‑out” gauge): very hot → park in SHV (T‑bills); very cold in tech → try a bounce with TECL (3× tech). - Otherwise pick SSO (2× S&P), QQQ/PSQ (Nasdaq or its inverse), or IEF/BSV/GLD (bonds/gold) based on recent 10–20‑day strength.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~59% annualized return with Calmar ~1.75, far above the S&P. Higher upside in trends with disciplined risk controls and solid risk-adjusted performance.

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.
