About

A rules-based, Nasdaq-first strategy that buys QQQ/TQQQ on washed-out dips and flips to PSQ/SQQQ (or occasionally UVXY) when markets look overheated or stressed, using bonds, commodities, dollar, and volatility as regime dials. Uses leveraged ETFs; expect big swings.
NutHow it works
What it trades: QQQ (Nasdaq 100), TQQQ (3x long QQQ), PSQ/SQQQ (short Nasdaq), UVXY (volatility), SPY (S&P 500), TLT/IEF/BIL (Treasuries), DBC (commodities), UUP (US dollar), SOXL (semis). It checks: - Are stocks hot or cold (speed of recent moves)? - Are bonds trending up or down? - Are commodities/dollar/volatility flashing stress? Then it: - Buys QQQ/TQQQ after washouts if backdrop is ok. - Switches to PSQ/SQQQ (or UVXY) when gains look overdone or stress rises. - Uses quick flip rules after big jumps/drops.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this Nasdaq strategy targets much higher upside (≈81.5%/yr) vs the S&P, with Calmar ≈2.20. regime hedges (PSQ/SQQQ/UVXY) manage drawdown; expect big swings (max drawdown ≈37%) but superior risk-adjusted gains when tech leads.

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.
