About

A daily, rules-based switch that moves between cash-like T‑bills, tech, defensive staples/oil, or an inverse Nasdaq hedge, using simple signals (RSI and the 200‑day average) to avoid extremes and follow the market’s trend.
NutHow it works
Each day it reads two simple signals: RSI (0–100 gauge of “hot” vs “washed‑out” price moves) and the 200‑day average (long‑term trend). Tickers: QQQ=Nasdaq‑100, SPY=S&P 500, XLK=Tech, XLP=Consumer Staples, DBO=Crude oil, PSQ=Inverse QQQ, BIL=T‑bills. If QQQ or SPY look overheated, go to BIL. If QQQ looks washed‑out, buy XLK. Else, if bonds look steadier than shorting tech, buy XLK. Otherwise: if SPY is in an uptrend, hold XLP and sometimes DBO; if downtrend, hold PSQ.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~28% annualized return with Sharpe ~1.11, lower beta ~0.93, max drawdown ~16% (vs 18.8% for SPY), and +0.12 alpha - delivering stronger risk-adjusted results and downside protection vs the S&P 500.

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.
