About

Rules-based, tech‑tilted swing strategy. In uptrends it rides Nasdaq with TQQQ unless overheated, then hedges with SQQQ/UVXY. In downtrends it buys dips or shifts to bonds, cash, dollar or gold using simple “too hot/too cold” (RSI) tests.
NutHow it works
1) Check trend: Is the S&P 500 (SPY) above its 200‑day average (a long‑term trend line)? • If yes, ride tech with leveraged Nasdaq (TQQQ). If it gets “too hot” by an RSI score (a 0–100 heat gauge), briefly hedge with inverse/volatility funds (SQQQ/UVXY). • If no, buy sharp sell‑offs or rotate among growth, cash/short‑term Treasuries, long Treasuries, the U.S. dollar or gold, always picking within pairs by RSI.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this tech-tilted swing strategy outperforms SPY on risk-adjusted return: Sharpe ~1.35 vs ~1.32, Calmar ~1.97, and annualized upside ~80% vs ~22%, with adaptive hedging and regime rotations that curb drawdowns.

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.
