About

A switcher that uses QQQ’s 10‑day RSI: when markets look overheated it buys a volatility hedge (UVXY); when they look washed out it buys leveraged tech (TECL); otherwise it holds a defensive mix of Treasuries, gold, the U.S. dollar, and dividend stocks.
NutHow it works
It reads a short-term heat gauge (10‑day RSI) on QQQ. • If very hot (RSI ≥ 80): go 100% into UVXY (a volatility hedge that can jump when stocks fall). • If very cold (RSI ≤ 31): go 100% into TECL (3x tech, aiming to catch a rebound). • Otherwise: split evenly across IEI (Treasuries), GLD (gold), UUP (U.S. dollar), SCHD (dividend stocks).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return ~44% vs ~22% for the S&P. This regime-switching strategy blends tech-leveraged bets, volatility hedges, and a defensive core. Calmar ~1.79 signals strong risk-adjusted gains despite higher drawdowns (~25%).

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.
