About

A daily, one‑ETF switcher that rides tech via QLD when the S&P 500’s trend is healthy, but uses an overbought/oversold “speedometer” (RSI) to rotate into Treasuries, the US dollar, staples, or even short Nasdaq (QID) or volatility (UVXY) when risk rises.
NutHow it works
First it checks trend: is SPY above its 200‑day average? If yes and not “overheated” (RSI, a 0–100 speedometer of recent gains), it buys QLD (2× Nasdaq‑100). When overheated, it shifts to the best of TLT (long Treasuries), UUP (US dollar) or XLP (consumer staples), or briefly UVXY (volatility). If trend is down, it buys dips in QLD or rotates to TLT or QID (−2× Nasdaq). Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy targets ~50.6% annualized returns vs SPY ~20.9%, with Sharpe ~1.30. It rotates tech leverage and defensives to chase bigger gains with disciplined risk. Note: higher drawdowns in stress periods.

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.
