About

Active, Nasdaq‑centric strategy that rides uptrends (QQQ/TQQQ) and flips to protection (PSQ/SQQQ or UVXY) when moves look overdone or trends turn down. Uses bond and commodity signals as safety checks. High risk and frequent switching.
NutHow it works
A rule-based switcher around the Nasdaq‑100. It owns QQQ or its 3x version (TQQQ) when the trend is up and prices aren’t overheated. If prices run up too fast or start falling fast, it flips to hedges that rise when Nasdaq falls (PSQ/SQQQ) or briefly to a volatility‑spike fund (UVXY). It checks bond trends and commodity stress first. Exposure is mainly big tech (Nasdaq‑100), with occasional semis/S&P 500.
CheckmarkValue prop
Outperforms the S&P: oos return ~76.9% vs SPY ~25.2%; Calmar ~2.07; max drawdown ~37.1% (vs ~18.8%). Captures Nasdaq rallies with hedges (PSQ/SQQQ/UVXY) and macro filters for superior upside with disciplined 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.
