About

A QQQ‑centric plan that eases off when the market runs hot (adds HIBS/VXX hedges) and presses the gas when it’s washed out (uses QLD/TQQQ). Most days it stays in QQQ. Daily rebalanced and K‑1‑free holdings.
NutHow it works
Your money is split into ten 10% slices. Each day it checks a 0–100 “heat gauge” of QQQ (RSI‑14). QQQ = big‑tech index fund. If the gauge is very high, slices shift into hedges: HIBS (−3x high‑beta S&P stocks) and VXX (volatility). If it’s very low, slices shift into boosted QQQ: QLD (2x) and TQQQ (3x). In the middle, it stays in QQQ. Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~29.8% annual return vs ~21.2% for the S&P; Sharpe ~1.37 vs ~1.33; Calmar ~1.29. RSI-driven hedges aim for higher upside with disciplined risk relative to the S&P 500.

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.
