About

70% in managed futures for stability, plus up to 30% in a turbocharged Nasdaq sleeve that adds a volatility hedge as markets get “too hot.” It shifts slices from TQQQ into VIX funds when QQQ’s short‑term heat meter (RSI) runs high.
NutHow it works
- 70% sits in DBMF (managed futures) to smooth returns. - The other 30% starts in TQQQ (a 3× Nasdaq‑100 fund). We watch QQQ’s 14‑day RSI—a 0–100 “heat meter” of recent gains. As it climbs past 65/70/75/80/85, five 10% slices flip, one by one, from TQQQ into VIXY/UVXY (funds that usually jump when markets panic). At least 15% always stays in TQQQ; the hedge can reach 15% of the whole. Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy returns 24.45% vs 21.32% for the S&P, aided by diversified managed futures and a volatility hedge. Higher upside with strong risk-adjusted potential, though drawdowns can be larger (about 25.5% vs 18.8%).

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.
