About

RSI-based tactical: when QQQ’s 14-day RSI < 35, go long 3x Nasdaq/Tech ETFs (TQQQ and TECL) with equal weight. If RSI > 80, hedge with UVXY. Otherwise park in BIL (short-term Treasuries). No automatic rebalancing; levered ETFs imply high risk.
NutHow it works
Plain-language explanation: The system watches QQQ (the Nasdaq-100) using a 14-day momentum gauge. If that gauge drops below 35, it signals an oversold short-term condition, and the plan is to place money into two 3x leveraged ETFs—TQQQ (Nasdaq-100 leveraged long) and TECL (Tech sector leveraged long)—likely with equal weight between them. If the momentum gauge becomes very high (above 80), the plan instead buys UVXY to hedge against a spike in market fear/volatility. If neither extreme is present, the system parks cash in BIL (short-term U.S. Treasuries) for safety. There is no automatic rebalancing; the strategy acts on signals and uses equal weights when entering the leveraged long positions. Important caveats: leveraged ETFs reset daily, so holding them longer than a few days can produce results different from the simple multiples of the index; UVXY tends to lose value in calm markets; RSI signals are not guarantees of future moves. The plan is designed as a short-horizon tactical approach rather than a traditional buy-and-hold strategy.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return ~30% vs S&P ~18%; Calmar ~1.31 vs ~0.95, signaling stronger risk-adjusted gains. Tech-focused tactical levered bets with hedges and safety buys seek bigger upside, accepting higher drawdowns.

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.
