About

Tech‑tilted, rules‑based trading that shifts among leveraged Nasdaq (QLD), hedges (PSQ), broad stocks (SPY), and Treasuries (SHY/TLT/TBT). It uses trend, volatility, and overbought/oversold cues to decide when to press or protect.
NutHow it works
1) Big picture: Is the S&P 500 (SPY) above its 200‑day average (an uptrend)? If yes and long‑term Treasuries (TLT) also trend up, it rides the Nasdaq: buys QLD when swings are calm, but briefly hedges with PSQ if QQQ is extremely hot (RSI>81). If swings aren’t calm, it holds SPY+SHY. If TLT isn’t trending up, it trades bonds (TLT, or TBT vs SHY by strength). If SPY is below its 200‑day, it’s cautious: it buys QLD only on extreme washouts (RSI<30); otherwise it picks PSQ or SHY when QQQ is below key averages, and QLD when it’s above. RSI is a 0–100 “heat” score.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~24.2% annualized return vs ~21.1% S&P. Tech-tilted, regime-aware with hedges and bonds aims for leadership gain while Calmar >1 signals risk control; drawdowns can be larger in some risk-off periods.

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.
