About

Rules-based, daily swing approach. In uptrends it rides QQQ, hedging to VIXY when things look overheated. In downtrends it buys oversold dips or rotates to PSQ (short QQQ) or TLT (Treasuries) when weakness persists.
NutHow it works
1) Check SPY vs its 200‑day average (long‑term trend). If uptrend: hold QQQ (Nasdaq‑100) unless QQQ or SPY look overheated (RSI≈80, a 0–100 “heat” gauge). Then briefly use VIXY (volatility spikes when stocks wobble). If downtrend: buy sharp dips (RSI≈30) in QQQ or SPY; otherwise, if QQQ is weak, pick the stronger of PSQ (−1x QQQ) or TLT (20+yr Treasuries). Rebalances daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: 47.48% annualized return vs SPY 38.05%, and Calmar ~6.03, signaling superior risk-adjusted upside. Dynamic trend hedges and dip-buy/defensive tilts aim to capture Nasdaq upside while controlling losses vs the S&P.

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.
