About

A dial‑a‑risk, QQQ‑focused strategy: ease off with hedges (HIBS/VXX) when the market looks overheated, and add selective 2x/3x QQQ (QLD/TQQQ) when it looks washed out. Split into 10 slices and rebalanced daily for smooth, gradual shifts.
NutHow it works
It watches a 14‑day “hot/cold” gauge (RSI) on QQQ (a fund tracking big tech in the Nasdaq‑100). The portfolio is split into 10 equal slices. When the gauge is very hot, slices move into crash‑protection: HIBS (rises when high‑risk stocks fall) and VXX (fear/volatility). When it’s cool/very cold, slices upgrade to QLD (2x) or TQQQ (3x). Otherwise it stays in QQQ. It rechecks daily and adjusts gradually.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~29.8% annualized return and Sharpe ~1.37 vs S&P ~1.33, with Calmar ~1.29. Nasdaq-100 tilt with hedges/leverage aims for higher long-term growth; note drawdowns can be larger (~23% vs ~19%).

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.
