About

Daily tactical plan using Nasdaq‑100 funds: buy QLD when washed‑out or in uptrends, park in SHV when overheated, and in downtrends may switch to PSQ (short Nasdaq‑100). Concentrated, high risk: uses leverage and can go short.
NutHow it works
It rotates daily among three funds: - QLD: aims for about 2x the daily move of big tech stocks (Nasdaq‑100). - PSQ: goes up when those stocks fall (inverse Nasdaq‑100). - SHV: cash‑like T‑bills. Signals on QLD: RSI(10) is a 0–100 “heat” score over ~2 weeks; under 30 = washed‑out, over 80 = overheated. Price vs averages: SPY above/below its 200‑day (market trend); QLD above/below its 20‑day (short‑term). Rules: 1) RSI<30 → QLD. 2) RSI>80 → SHV. 3) Otherwise: if SPY>200‑day → QLD; else if QLD<20‑day → PSQ; else QLD.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this Nasdaq-100 strategy delivers ~48% annualized returns vs ~18% for the S&P, with Sharpe ~1.17 and Calmar ~1.46. Drawdowns ~33%, but much higher upside in tech rallies via adaptive, trend signals.

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.
