About

A daily-switching plan that mostly rides the Nasdaq with leveraged funds, buys deep dips, and hedges or shorts when markets look overheated, using a 200-day trend filter and a simple 0–100 heat gauge (RSI) to toggle among TQQQ/QLD, SQQQ, UVXY, or BSV.
NutHow it works
Daily, it checks if the S&P 500 (SPY) is above its 200-day average. In uptrends it mostly rides the Nasdaq via TQQQ/QLD, buying dips; if overheated it flips to SQQQ or volatility (UVXY). In downtrends it rotates among UVXY, SQQQ, bonds (BSV), or brief bounce plays (TECL/SPXL). RSI is a 0–100 heat gauge: <31 = washed-out, >80 = overheated. TQQQ/QLD=levered Nasdaq; SQQQ=short Nasdaq; UVXY=volatility; TECL/SPXL=levered tech/S&P; BSV=bonds.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return ~63.7% vs ~22.2% for the S&P, with Calmar ~1.64 indicating strong risk-adjusted upside. Leverages Nasdaq during rallies and hedges overheated markets for far higher upside than the S&P (with higher 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.
