About

Tactical tech strategy: ride Nasdaq uptrends with 3x QQQ (TQQQ), but when it runs hot or fear (VIX) spikes, rotate to hedges/shorts (PSQ/SQQQ/VXX) or safer QQQ/BTAL. Bonds and volatility guide risk. Rebalanced daily.
NutHow it works
Daily rules-based Nasdaq/tech switcher. Uses RSI (a short-term “hot/cold” score: high=overheated, low=washed-out) on TQQQ, semis, VIX (fear), and bonds to choose: ride uptrends (TQQQ), hedge/short (PSQ/SQQQ/VXX/SOXS), or retreat to safer QQQ/BTAL. Also sizes by recent volatility. Key tickers: QQQ=Nasdaq-100; TQQQ=3x long; PSQ/SQQQ=short QQQ; SOXL/SOXS=3x semis; VIXY/VIXM/VXX=fear; IEF/BSV=bonds; SPHB=high-beta; BTAL=defensive.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this tactical Nasdaq strategy targets ~81% annualized returns vs ~25% for the S&P, with a higher Sharpe (~1.73) and Calmar (~2), plus built-in hedges and volatility timing to pursue bigger upside 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.
