About

Own the two strongest Big Tech stocks each month based on recent performance. If the Nasdaq‑100 (QQQ) has dropped over 10% in the last ~40 trading days, switch to gold (GLD) for protection.
NutHow it works
Every month: • If QQQ (a Nasdaq‑100 fund) has fallen more than 10% from a recent high over the last 40 trading days, buy GLD (a gold fund). • Otherwise, rank META, AMZN, AAPL, MSFT, GOOG, TSLA, NVDA by their last‑20‑day returns; buy the top 2 equally. Exposure: mega‑cap tech; defense: gold.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: 33.8% annualized return vs 21.1% for the S&P, plus a rules-based risk-off to GLD during tech stress and a mega-cap momentum tilt. Higher upside with disciplined timing; expect larger but controlled drawdowns.

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.
