About

All‑weather, rules‑based plan. Uses a long‑term trend test, extreme hot/cold signals, and a short‑term anti‑chop rule to rotate among QQQ, S&P 500 (RSP/VOO), inverse QQQ (PSQ/SQQQ), or short‑term Treasuries (SHY). Daily rebalanced.
NutHow it works
Step 1 (big trend): If SPY is above its 175‑day moving average (avg price over 175 days), hold RSP—unless QQQ looks very hot (RSI, a 0–100 hot/cold gauge, >81), then briefly use SQQQ (3x short QQQ). Step 2 (weak trend): If SPY is below that and QQQ is very cold (RSI<28) buy QLD (2x long QQQ); if SPY is very cold (RSI<30) buy VOO. Step 3 (otherwise): An anti‑chop rule uses QQQ vs its 23‑/20‑day averages to tilt among QQQ (Nasdaq‑100), PSQ (short QQQ), or SHY (T‑bills), adding more QQQ when trend is strong and more PSQ/SHY when weak. Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Regime-aware, rules-based strategy that cuts downside (14.1% drawdown vs SPY 18.8%), and delivers steadier, risk-adjusted gains (Calmar 1.34) with strong out-of-sample resilience versus the S&P 500.

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.
