About

Tech‑infrastructure momentum with safety rails: invest only when QQQ’s long‑term trend is up; then, if LITE/TSEM/CAMT show short‑term strength, concentrate roughly 61/28/11% in the top 3 one‑year winners from a 7‑stock basket; else sit in BIL (cash‑like).
NutHow it works
1) Market filter: risk‑on only if QQQ (Nasdaq‑100 ETF) is above its 200‑day average price. Else hold BIL (T‑bill ETF). 2) If risk‑on, three checks ask whether LITE, TSEM, and CAMT are above their ~50‑day averages. Each passing check buys the top 1, then top 2, then top 3 one‑year performers from a 7‑stock tech‑infrastructure basket (Intel, Ciena, Lumentum, Tower, Camtek, SiTime, Bloom Energy). Any failed check parks that slice in BIL. Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this risk-on/off strategy delivers downside protection and a risk-adjusted edge: max drawdown ~7.2%, Calmar ~13.5, negative SPY beta, and selective top-3 momentum exposure, offering steadier upside than the S&P 500.

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.
