About

Buys a 3× Nasdaq-100 fund after a 5%+ 5‑day drop, unless there was a >5% one‑day rebound; otherwise parks in short‑term Treasury bonds. Aims to buy dips and sit in safety when not dipping. High risk when in TQQQ.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks QQQ, a fund of 100 big Nasdaq stocks (think Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia). If QQQ fell more than 5% over the last 5 trading days, it tries to buy the dip with TQQQ (about 3× QQQ). But if TQQQ just jumped over 5% yesterday, it instead stays in BSV, a short‑term US Treasury bond fund. If there’s no 5‑day dip, it stays in BSV. Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample dip-buy Nasdaq-100 strategy with 3x leverage aims for ~23% annualized return vs ~14% S&P, higher Sharpe (~0.90 vs ~0.81), and Calmar ~1.02, with similar drawdowns (~22%).

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.
