About

A daily, bear‑market tactic that flips between inverse QQQ, leveraged tech longs, and Treasuries based on short‑term trend, sharp rallies/drops, and which defensive asset is holding up best.
NutHow it works
Each day it looks at QQQ (big tech index). If QQQ is above its 20‑day average (short-term uptrend): - If QQQ just jumped >5.5% in ~2 weeks, it bets against it (PSQ). - Else if the 3× QQQ fund fell >33% over ~3 months, it bets on a rebound (TQQQ). - Else it parks in T‑Bills (SHV). If QQQ is below its 20‑day average (downtrend): - If it’s very washed out (many more down than up days), it buys a 3× tech fund (TECL) for a bounce. - Else if the 3× QQQ fund is down >33% over ~3 months, it buys TQQQ. - Else it holds whichever is acting strongest: PSQ (short QQQ), short‑term bonds (BSV), or long Treasuries (TLT).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: 23.83% annualized vs 22.78% S&P, Calmar ~1.0. Drawdowns ~24% vs ~19% for S&P, but this strategy targets higher upside via bear-market hedges and leveraged tech bets.

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.
