About

Daily, it rides NASDAQ-100 strength with 2x QLD and buys sharp dips; otherwise it holds one oversold defensive fund (XLP, XLU, or VBF). Uses 50/200-day trend, 20-day returns, and short-term RSI to switch.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks the NASDAQ-100 (ticker QQQ). If QQQ’s 50-day average price is above its 200-day and recent 20-day returns are >1%, or if QQQ looks oversold (RSI<30; a short-term gauge of how fast price fell), it buys QLD, a 2x fund tied to QQQ. Otherwise it holds one defensive fund - consumer staples (XLP), utilities (XLU), or a bond fund (VBF) - picking the one that is most oversold. Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~52% annualized return vs ~27% S&P, with Calmar ~2.66 signaling solid risk-adjusted upside. Higher drawdown (~20% vs ~9%), but levered NASDAQ-100 exposure plus disciplined defensives aim for stronger long-run growth.

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.
