About

A daily, rules-based switch between betting for or against the Nasdaq‑100. It rides uptrends with QQQ/TQQQ and flips to PSQ/SQQQ on warning signs from momentum, bonds, commodities, and volatility to capture rallies and defend in sell‑offs.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks market “temperature”: tech momentum, fear spikes, and interest‑rate trends. If healthy, it owns QQQ (Nasdaq‑100) or TQQQ (3x long). If overheated/weak/fearful, it flips to PSQ (1x inverse) or SQQQ (3x inverse). It also uses Treasury (TLT) and commodity (DBC) trends to choose offense vs defense.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample tested strategy toggling Nasdaq exposure (levered/inverse) to ride rallies and defend risk. Delivers ~44.5% annualized vs SPY 25.9%, with Calmar ~1.85 and Sharpe ~1.29, beta ~0.67.

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.
