About

A switch driven by a short‑term “heat” reading of QQQ: buy UVXY when markets look overheated, buy 3× tech (TECL) when washed out, and hold a defensive mix (IEI, GLD, UUP, SCHD) otherwise. High risk, timing‑dependent.
NutHow it works
It reads a 10‑day RSI (a 0–100 “heat” score from recent up vs down days) on QQQ (a big tech‑heavy index ETF). If RSI ≥ 80: buy UVXY (tends to jump when stocks drop). If RSI ≤ 31: buy TECL (3× daily tech). Otherwise hold 25% each: IEI (3–7y Treasuries), GLD (gold), UUP (US dollar), SCHD (dividend stocks). Switches only when thresholds are crossed; very risky.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: ~43% annualized return vs ~23% S&P, with solid risk-adjusted profile (Calmar ~1.75). Drawdowns can be larger (~25% vs ~19%), but the strategy offers higher upside and diversified ballast when markets are uncertain.

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.
