About

Tactical switcher on the tech‑heavy Nasdaq‑100: flips between bullish TQQQ and bearish PSQ by comparing bond (IEF) vs inverse‑Nasdaq momentum (RSI). Then picks how aggressive based on the mix that just pulled back most. High risk.
NutHow it works
Tickers: TQQQ = 3x up bet on the Nasdaq‑100 (big tech). PSQ = 1x inverse of the Nasdaq‑100 (rises when it falls). IEF = 7–10yr U.S. Treasuries. RSI = a 0–100 score of recent ups vs downs. Each period: compare 10‑day RSI of IEF to 20‑day RSI of PSQ. If IEF>PSQ, pick a TQQQ‑heavy mix; else a PSQ‑heavy mix. From four preset mixes (incl. 100% TQQQ or 100% PSQ), choose the one with the lowest 5‑day RSI and invest 100% there. Trade only if the pick changes or drifts >1%.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample upside: ~66% annualized vs ~24% for the S&P, with Calmar ~1.37 and Sharpe ~1.36. RSI-driven regime switching between leveraged Nasdaq (TQQQ) and inverse Nasdaq (PSQ) aims to beat the S&P; drawdowns can be larger in downturns.

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.
