About

A daily‑rebalanced basket that rides Nasdaq‑100 uptrends with TQQQ, shifts to Treasuries or inverse Nasdaq (SQQQ) in weak markets, and briefly buys “fear” (UVXY) when things look overheated. Uses a 200‑day trend filter and short‑term heat (RSI) signals.
NutHow it works
Goal: ride big‑tech uptrends with TQQQ, cut damage in selloffs. Trend check: if the S&P 500 (SPY) is above its 200‑day line, play offense; otherwise, play defense. RSI = a short‑term “heat” gauge (high=hot, low=cold). Offense: hold TQQQ/TECL; if heat is extreme, briefly buy UVXY (“fear”). Defense: use SQQQ (goes up when Nasdaq falls) or Treasuries (TLT/TMF/SHY/BIL). Sharp weekly drops trigger buy‑the‑dip or short, then back to TQQQ. Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~65% annualized return vs ~22% for the S&P, Sharpe ~1.28, Calmar ~1.41. Daily Nasdaq-led trend exposure with hedges (SQQQ, Treasuries, UVXY) to chase rallies while limiting downside.

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.
