About

Uses QQQ’s 10‑day RSI to switch: overbought → VIXY hedge, oversold → 2× QQQ, otherwise a defensive mix of staples, utilities, health care, and long Treasuries. Daily rebalancing.
NutHow it works
It checks a 10‑day RSI on QQQ (a tech‑heavy index fund; RSI is a 0‑100 gauge of how fast price has risen/fallen). If RSI > 79 (very hot), it buys VIXY (a volatility fund that jumps when stocks drop). If RSI < 30 (very cold), it buys QLD (2× QQQ). Otherwise it splits evenly into XLP (consumer staples), XLU (utilities), XLV (health care), and TLT (long‑term US Treasuries). Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Strong risk control: oos max drawdown ~2.6% vs SPY ~5.1%, oos Calmar ~6.2, and solid risk-adjusted returns. While raw return trails SPY, this strategy offers steadier, less volatile upside with better downside protection for 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.
