About

A daily trend strategy: ride tech (QQQ) when markets or QQQ trend up. If both weaken, switch to either PSQ (bets against QQQ) or SHY (short‑term Treasuries), choosing the one with stronger recent momentum.
NutHow it works
QQQ = Nasdaq‑100 (big tech). SPY = S&P 500. PSQ = inverse QQQ (rises when QQQ falls). SHY = 1–3y U.S. Treasuries. Daily rules: If SPY is above its 200‑day average → 100% QQQ. Else, if QQQ is above its 20‑day average → 100% QQQ. Else, pick PSQ or SHY using a 10‑day strength score, RSI (0–100; higher = more recent upward pressure).
CheckmarkValue prop
A rules-based trend strategy that captures tech upside in up markets (QQQ) and hedges with PSQ/SHY when risk rises. Near-zero SPY beta and ~11.8% annualized return with Calmar 0.56—an intelligent, diversifying, risk-aware complement to SPY.

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.
