About

A daily, equal-weighted, volatility-driven two-basket strategy that alternates between a tech/QQQ-aligned group (GOOG, META, WMT, TQQQ) and a consumer/industrial/Dow-aligned group (AAPL, TGT, AMD,UDOW) based on TMUS vs T volatility. Uses leverage via TQQQ/UDOW and rebalances every day.
NutHow it works
Here’s how to understand it in plain language: - The plan rebalances every trading day and splits your available cash evenly across a set of chosen assets (equal weighting). - It first checks how “bumpy” or volatile recent prices have been for TMUS (T-Mobile) and for T (AT&T) over about 10 days. - If TMUS shows more volatility than T, the daily allocation uses the first group: GOOG (Alphabet), META (Facebook), WMT (Walmart), and TQQQ (a 3x levered Nasdaq-100 ETF). - If TMUS is not more volatile, it uses the second group: AAPL (Apple), TGT (Target), AMD (Advanced Micro Devices), and UDOW (a 3x levered Dow Jones ETF). - In either case, the four assets in the chosen group are all put into the portfolio with equal dollar amounts, and the mix is reset daily. - The levered ETFs (TQQQ and UDOW) amplify daily moves, which can increase gains but also increase losses. This makes the strategy riskier. - The labels and lookback windows (20 days for the assets, 10 days for volatility) are parameters that guide how much history is considered when calculating the signals and how long the investments “stay” in a basket on any given day.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this volatility-driven rotation delivers higher growth (36.36% vs 23.16% S&P) with strong risk-adjusted metrics (Calmar ~1.17, Sharpe ~1.22). Daily, equal-weighted exposure with leverage aims for bigger upside and transparent risk.

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.
