About

Buy-the-dips Nasdaq strategy using a 3x Nasdaq ETF on dip signals, with a diversified, risk-controlled Opus-8 sleeve when not in a Nasdaq surge. Daily rebalancing; active exposure to core stocks, hedges, sectors, value, commodities, and cash substitutes (Opus-8 is currently active).
NutHow it works
High-level, layman explanation: - The plan tries to buy when Nasdaq dips and bounce back, using a leveraged Nasdaq ETF (TQQQ) for exposure during favorable dip signals. - If the short-term Nasdaq signal isn’t compelling or if the Nasdaq has weakened over several days, it shifts to a diversified, risk-controlled mix across six asset buckets (core, hedges, sectors, value stocks, commodities, and cash substitutes). - Within Opus-8, the allocation splits roughly among six building blocks, with the biggest emphasis on volatility hedges and commodity momentum, plus a core balanced sleeve and a couple of tactical equity themes. - Rebalancing happens daily, so the weights can change every day based on the signals and the rule set described above. - The included tickers are ETFs (funds that hold baskets of securities) representing different market exposures (Nasdaq tech, broad U.S. stocks, bonds, gold, dollars, commodities, etc.). Each bucket uses its own rule for how much to own and which specific ETFs to pick.
CheckmarkValue prop
Capture Nasdaq dips with a risk-controlled, diversified sleeve. Out-of-sample: ~20.2% annual return vs S&P 20.8%; Sharpe ~0.85 vs 1.30; higher drawdowns but hedges and multi-asset ballast aim to protect and diversify exposure.

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.
