About

An equal split across TQQQ (3x Nasdaq-100) and seven major tech/chip stocks. It aims to beat QQQ by concentrating in tech and adding leverage, with no timing rules and no scheduled rebalancing. High upside in tech rallies, high risk in selloffs.
NutHow it works
It splits money equally across eight positions: a turbocharged Nasdaq-100 fund (TQQQ) plus seven big tech and chip names (MSFT, AAPL, AMZN, NVDA, AMD, TSLA, TSM). No timing rules. No scheduled rebalancing, so the mix drifts as prices move—amplifying a tech-heavy bet.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: ~60% annual return vs ~23% for the S&P, with Sharpe ~1.54 (better risk-adjusted upside). Tech concentration + leverage aims for bigger gains, but drawdowns are larger (~36% vs ~19%).

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.
