About

Buys 3× homebuilders (NAIL) only when the Nasdaq‑100’s last 10 days are about flat (≈−1% to +1%); otherwise sits in T‑bills (BIL). Daily checks; very high risk when in NAIL; sector is U.S. home construction and building products.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks how much QQQ (the Nasdaq‑100 fund) changed over the last 10 trading days. If that 10‑day move is roughly flat (between about −1% and +1%), it buys NAIL, a 3× leveraged fund tied to U.S. homebuilders and building‑products stocks. Otherwise it holds BIL, a cash‑like T‑bill fund.
CheckmarkValue prop
Dynamic risk-on/off strategy: stays in cash when QQQ isn’t calm, then uses 3× NAIL in sideways markets. Out-of-sample return ~19% vs S&P ~18.9%, offering similar/better upside with disciplined timing; note larger downturn drawdowns.

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.
