About

Daily, rules-based rotation among four Nasdaq funds: TQQQ for strong uptrends, QQQY to earn option income in chop, PSQ when markets look stretched or risk rises, and SQQQ in panics. Reads stock, bond, commodity and volatility signals to switch.
NutHow it works
Each day it reads market “vitals” and holds exactly one fund: - TQQQ (3x long Nasdaq) if uptrend is healthy and not overheated. - QQQY (Nasdaq options-income) if choppy/uncertain. - PSQ (-1x Nasdaq) if tech looks overbought or fear is rising. - SQQQ (3x inverse) in panics. Signals use: RSI (overbought/oversold gauge), moving averages (trend), short-term returns, and cues from bonds (TLT/IEF/BIL), commodities (DBC), volatility (UVXY), and semis (SOXL). Uses leveraged ETFs; high risk.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return ~28.9% vs S&P ~23.4%; Calmar ~1.30; Sharpe ~0.99 with beta ~0.32. Drawdown ~22% vs SPY ~19% in stress. Nasdaq-rotation strategy aims to capture leadership with controlled risk.

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.
