About

Buys the Nasdaq‑100 on dips using a 3× ETF (TQQQ). If there’s no dip, it holds 60% short‑term bonds and 40% Nasdaq‑100 (QQQM). If a sharp rebound has just happened, it parks in bonds instead of chasing.
NutHow it works
Tickers used: QQQ/QQQM = Nasdaq‑100; TQQQ = 3× Nasdaq‑100; BSV = short‑term bonds. • If QQQ fell >≈4% over the last ~4 weeks: if TQQQ jumped >≈5% last week → 100% BSV; else → 85% TQQQ, ~15% cash. • If no dip: 60% BSV, 40% QQQM.

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.
