About

Daily plan that follows the Nasdaq‑100’s trend. Buy 2x Nasdaq‑100 (QLD) on strength or sharp dips; otherwise rotate into whichever is most oversold among staples (XLP), utilities (XLU), or a bond fund (VBF). Uses RSI and moving averages; leverage adds risk.
NutHow it works
Tickers used: QLD = 2x daily Nasdaq‑100; QQQ = Nasdaq‑100 (signal only). XLP = consumer staples; XLU = utilities; VBF = bond fund. Daily: • If QQQ’s 50‑day avg price > 200‑day (uptrend): buy QLD when recent 20‑day results are strong OR QQQ looks washed‑out (RSI<30). Otherwise own the most oversold of XLP/XLU/VBF (by RSI). • If not an uptrend: only buy QLD when RSI<30; else own that most‑oversold defensive ETF. RSI is a 0–100 “heat meter”; <30 ≈ fallen fast and may bounce.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this Nasdaq‑100 strategy targets ~52% annualized return vs ~36% for the S&P 500, with Calmar ~4.8—strong risk-adjusted upside. Leveraged exposure means higher drawdowns, but bigger potential gains.

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.
