About

A rules-based, daily plan that mainly holds QQQ when the market trend is up, parks in T‑Bills when things look too hot, and in downtrends may switch to short QQQ (PSQ) or Treasuries (TLT). It relies on simple “heat” and trend gauges.
NutHow it works
Tickers: QQQ=Nasdaq‑100 stocks, SPY=S&P 500, BIL=US T‑Bills (cash‑like), PSQ=short QQQ, TLT=long US Treasuries. TQQQ/SQQQ/SPXL are leveraged “thermometers” only. Daily: If SPY is above its 200‑day average (long‑term uptrend), hold QQQ unless very hot short‑term (then park in BIL). If below, favor safety: after sharp selloffs sometimes hold QQQ for a bounce; otherwise rotate to PSQ or TLT—whichever looks stronger. Uses RSI (0–100 heat gauge) and trend lines.
CheckmarkValue prop
Strong risk-adjusted edge: oos return ≈27.3% vs 17.5% S&P, Sharpe ≈1.23 vs 1.03, Calmar ≈1.45. A rules-based, trend-following approach that moves to BIL/PSQ/TLT in heat or drawdowns, seeking tech upside with downside protection.

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.
