About

Rules-based NASDAQ‑100 strategy that dials between 3×, 2×, unlevered, or T‑bills based on recent drawdown, trend (200‑day average), and ~10‑month gains. It aims to ride uptrends hard, ease off after big runs, and play cautious after crashes.
NutHow it works
Focus: the NASDAQ‑100 (QQQ: big tech like AAPL, MSFT, NVDA). TQQQ = 3× QQQ, QLD = 2× QQQ, BIL = T‑bills (cash‑like). It checks the last ~10 months (200 trading days). • If QQQ fell >10% recently (a “medium” drop): – If price is below its 200‑day average: hold QQQ; after a 5% gain, move to BIL. – If price is above the 200‑day average: use TQQQ; after a 40% run‑up, cut to QLD. • If no 10%+ drop: use TQQQ unless gains >15%, then QLD.
CheckmarkValue prop
Rules-based NASDAQ-100 strategy with outsized upside: OOS annualized return ~34% vs ~17% S&P; leverages in uptrends, de-risks after large moves. Expect higher drawdowns (~39% vs ~19%), but Calmar ~0.86 indicates solid risk-adjusted 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.
