About

A tech‑tilted, rules‑based strategy: ride QQQ in uptrends, switch to a volatility hedge (VIXY) when markets look overheated, and in downtrends either buy deep dips or rotate to SPY, inverse QQQ (PSQ), or Treasuries (TLT) using short‑term “hot/cold” signals.
NutHow it works
Daily: 1) Regime: if SPY > its 200‑day avg (uptrend), hold QQQ unless very “hot” (10‑day RSI: QQQ>79 or SPY>80); then hold VIXY. 2) If SPY ≤ 200‑day avg (downtrend): if QQQ RSI<31 buy QQQ; else if SPY RSI<30 buy SPY; else if QQQ<20‑day avg pick the stronger of PSQ or TLT by 10‑day RSI; else if PSQ RSI<31 buy PSQ; otherwise buy QQQ. RSI=0–100 heat gauge; moving avg=recent average. QQQ=Nasdaq‑100; SPY=S&P 500; VIXY=volatility; PSQ=‑1x QQQ; TLT=long Treasuries.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~47.5% annualized return vs ~38% for the S&P, strong Calmar (~6) and solid risk-adjusted gains, plus a volatility hedge. Higher upside with disciplined risk, though drawdowns can be larger.

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.
