About

A Nasdaq‑100 tactical plan that dials between 3x, 2x, unlevered QQQ, or cash based on three checks: was there a recent 10% drop, is price above its 200‑day average, and how big the last ~10‑month gain has been.
NutHow it works
What it trades: QQQ (Nasdaq‑100), TQQQ (3x QQQ), QLD (2x QQQ), BIL (T‑bills). Key measures (≈10 months = 200 trading days): 200‑day average = average price; Cumulative return = % change; Max drawdown = worst drop from a high. Rules: • If QQQ fell >10% recently: if price is back above its 200‑day average, use TQQQ until the 200‑day gain >40%, then step down to QLD. If still below the average, hold QQQ, but after a small rebound (>5% 200‑day gain) move to BIL. • If no recent 10% drop: use TQQQ until the 200‑day gain >15%, then step down to QLD.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return ~34% with Sharpe ~0.84 and Calmar ~0.87. A Nasdaq-100 momentum strategy using adaptive leverage and crash protection to pursue far higher upside than the S&P while actively managing 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.
