About

Core in QQQ. If QQQ looks overheated, it parks up to half in VIX funds as a hedge. If QQQ looks washed out, it adds up to half in 2x/3x QQQ to buy the dip. All decisions use a simple 14‑day “heat meter” (RSI). Rebalanced daily.
NutHow it works
It watches a 14‑day “heat meter” (RSI) on QQQ, which ranges 0–100. High = QQQ has run hot; low = it’s been hit hard. - When RSI is very high, up to 50% shifts into VIX funds (VIXY/UVXY) as a safety net. - When RSI is very low, up to 50% shifts into 2x/3x QQQ (QLD/TQQQ) to buy the dip. - In between, it holds QQQ. Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: 33% annual return vs S&P 21%; Sharpe ~1.45, Calmar ~1.44, positive alpha. A simple RSI-driven QQQ strategy with VIX hedges and leveraged dips targets stronger risk-adjusted upside—note drawdowns can rise in stressed 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.
