About

Tech‑tilted tactical strategy. In quiet markets it leans into QQQ/TQQQ; when prices look overheated or volatility jumps, it rotates to volatility hedges (VIXY), Treasuries, cash, or short ETFs. A 30% sleeve trend‑manages QQQ to reduce drawdowns.
NutHow it works
Two sleeves: 70% a “rotator + brakes,” 30% a QQQ trend system. RSI = a heat gauge (0–100): >~80 = overheated, <~30 = washed-out. In calm markets it favors QQQ/TQQQ/TECL and a barbell of QQQ + BTAL + the calmest of TMF/TMV/SVXY/VIXM. If sectors/tech look overheated or TQQQ spikes, it shifts to VIXY or cash. If volatility surges, it may hold VIXY or short ETFs. Rebalances on signal/drift (~5%). Ticker key: QQQ=Nasdaq; TQQQ/TECL=3x tech; BTAL=defensive (long low-/short high‑beta); VIXY/VIXM/SVXY=vol; TMF/TMV/TLT/IEF=Treasuries; BIL/SHV=cash-like; PSQ/QID/SH=shorts; XLP/XLY/XLE/VOX=sectors; VOOG/VOOV=growth/value; USDU=USD bull.

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.
