About

A daily, rules‑based “risk thermometer” using QQQ’s 10‑day RSI: buy deep dips with 2x QQQ (QLD), park in T‑bills (BIL) when markets look overheated, and otherwise hold a defensive mix of staples, utilities, health care, and long Treasuries.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks QQQ’s 10‑day RSI—a 0–100 “heat gauge” of recent price moves (low=washed out, high=overheated). QQQ tracks the Nasdaq‑100 (big tech). - RSI < 30: 100% QLD (a 2x version of QQQ) to buy the dip. - RSI 30–79: split evenly: XLP (staples), XLV (health care), XLU (utilities), TLT (long Treasuries) for defense. - RSI > 79: 100% BIL (T‑bills, cash‑like).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample Sharpe ~1.73 with 14.3% annualized return and only 2.6% max drawdown vs the S&P’s 5.1% drawdown. Calmar ~5.5 signals strong risk-adjusted upside and resilience, offering better downside protection and steadier growth.

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.
