About

Buys 3× Nasdaq‑100 on sharp 5‑day dips (but waits in T‑bills if a big one‑day bounce already hit). Otherwise holds a diversified “Opus” mix of stocks, hedges, sector leaders, and commodities only when trending. Checked and rebalanced daily.
NutHow it works
Daily check. If QQQ (Nasdaq‑100 fund) fell >5% in 5 days, it buys TQQQ (a 3× version of QQQ) to try to catch a rebound—unless TQQQ already jumped >5% today, then it waits in T‑bill ETFs (BIL). If there’s no dip, it holds a diversified “Opus” mix: US stocks (incl. value), gold (GLD), US dollar (UUP), managed futures (DBMF), top‑2 strong sectors, and select commodities only when trending; otherwise short Treasuries (SHV). Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: ~20.2% annualized return, 0.85 Sharpe, 0.78 Calmar. Near SPY upside with Nasdaq-dip plays (3x) plus hedges (gold, USD, managed futures). Higher drawdowns require risk tolerance but offer strong growth potential.

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.
