About

Half stays in QQQ. The other half is tactical: if volatility spikes it hides in T‑Bills; otherwise it flips between 1x or 3x bull/bear sector baskets using short‑term signals, holding a few funds with strong very‑recent trends.
NutHow it works
About 50% stays in QQQ. The other 50% shifts. If volatility (VIXM) looks “hot” (RSI>70), it parks in T‑Bills (BIL). Otherwise it picks a “muted” (1x) or “core” (3x) bull/bear basket by comparing short‑term “heat” (RSI) of bonds (AGG) vs QQQ, then holds 2–3 ETFs with the best 4–5 day trend. RSI is a 0–100 heat gauge; moving‑average return is a 4–5 day trend measure.
CheckmarkValue prop
Balancing 50% QQQ with a flexible 50% tactical sleeve, this strategy blends short-term momentum with a volatility hedge (to BIL). Out-of-sample: 16.4% annualized return, 0.56 Sharpe, plus diversification beyond the S&P in volatile markets.

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.
