About

Daily, fade extremes in QQQ: when very hot, own VXX (benefits from stock pullbacks); when very cold, own TQQQ (3x Nasdaq) for a rebound; otherwise sit in a defensive pick (XLP or IGLB) with the lower RSI. High risk due to leverage/volatility products.
NutHow it works
It watches QQQ (big tech‑heavy index) and uses a 10‑day RSI, a 0–100 “heat gauge” of recent moves (>70 hot/overbought, <30 cold/oversold). - If RSI > 79: buy VXX (volatility fund that usually rises when stocks fall). - If RSI <= 28: buy TQQQ (3x QQQ) to bet on a rebound. - Otherwise: hold whichever is more beaten down (lower RSI) between XLP (consumer‑staples stocks) and IGLB (10‑yr investment‑grade corporate bonds). Checked daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: Sharpe ~1.16, Calmar ~1.73, beta ~0.26, and ~12.5% annualized return. A hedged, diversified strategy that uses VXX and TQQQ to gain upside while keeping market exposure lower than 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.
