About

Daily, tactical Nasdaq strategy that buys dips with TQQQ, parks in JEPQ for income when markets are hot/choppy, and hedges with PSQ/SQQQ when fear rises. Uses simple hot/cold signals from stocks, bonds, and volatility.
NutHow it works
Daily, it picks one Nasdaq‑tied fund. Offense: TQQQ (3x QQQ) on dips when trends look OK. Neutral: JEPQ (Nasdaq stocks + option income) when markets are hot/choppy. Defense: PSQ (–1x QQQ) or SQQQ (–3x) when fear/volatility spikes. It reads hot/cold from RSI (0–100 speedometer), moving averages (trend), bonds (TLT/BIL/IEF), and volatility (UVXY).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return ~34.9% vs S&P ~23.4%, driven by dip-buying in TQQQ, Nasdaq income via JEPQ, and hedges (PSQ/SQQQ). Strong upside with Calmar ~1.20; note larger drawdowns 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.
