About

A daily bear‑market tactic using QQQ as a guide: fade sharp rallies with PSQ, buy deep selloffs with 3× tech funds (TQQQ/TECL), or sit in Treasuries (SHV/BSV/TLT), picking the strongest defensive choice when no bounce setup appears.
NutHow it works
Checks daily using QQQ (Nasdaq‑100 ETF). 20‑day avg = recent avg price. RSI (0–100) = balance of up vs down days; <30 = very sold off. If QQQ > 20‑day avg: 10‑day gain >5.5% → short via PSQ; else if TQQQ (3× QQQ) fell >33% in ~3 mo → buy TQQQ; else → SHV (cash‑like). If QQQ ≤ 20‑day avg: RSI<30 → buy TECL (3× tech); else if TQQQ fell >33% → buy TQQQ; else → strongest of PSQ (short QQQ), BSV (short‑term bonds), or TLT (long Treasuries).
CheckmarkValue prop
Bear-market, regime-driven strategy with comparable annualized return (~21.5%/yr) to the S&P and Calmar ~0.90. Diversified bets (PSQ, TQQQ/TECL, Treasuries) offer a different risk profile and risk-adjusted appeal.

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.
