About

70% sits in a managed‑futures fund (DBMF) for smoother diversification. The other 30% rides TQQQ (3× NASDAQ‑100) until QQQ looks overheated by a 14‑day RSI; then small chunks flip into VIX hedges (VIXY/UVXY) to cushion pullbacks. Daily, rules‑based rebalancing.
NutHow it works
- 70% in DBMF (a managed‑futures fund that tends to diversify stock risk). - 30% in TQQQ (a 3× version of the tech‑heavy QQQ). - A 14‑day RSI on QQQ—think a 0–100 heat gauge—dials the hedge: as RSI crosses 65/70/75/80/85, five 3% slices move from TQQQ to VIX funds (VIXY, then UVXY) that often rise when stocks fall. - Rebalanced daily; leveraged/VIX funds can be volatile and decay.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: about 26.2% annualized return vs 20.9% for the S&P, with Calmar ~1.03. A 70% DBMF core plus 30% RSI-triggered hedged TQQQ seeks higher upside with disciplined risk control versus the S&P.

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.
