About

A hedged Nasdaq‑100 strategy: 55% tactically rotates among QQQ, Treasuries, gold, T‑bills, and inverse/leveraged Nasdaq using trend and “heat” gauges; 45% sits in diversifiers (long‑safe/short‑risky stocks and managed‑futures) to cushion sell‑offs.
NutHow it works
55% tactically trades the Nasdaq‑100 using two dials: trend (S&P 500 vs 200‑day average) and heat (RSI). If trend is up, hold QQQ unless too hot—then shift to Treasuries or gold. If trend is down, rotate among short Nasdaq, Treasuries, or T‑bills; may use 2x long/short for bounces. Deep‑bear rules cut risk further. 45% stays in diversifiers: a fund long safer stocks/short riskier ones, and a managed‑futures fund. RSI = short‑term “heat”; a moving average = long‑term average price line.

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.
