About

Buys a 3× homebuilders ETF (NAIL) only when the Nasdaq‑100’s last 10‑day move is roughly flat (about ±1%). If markets are trending up or down, it parks in T‑bills (BIL). Daily check; concentrated and high risk when invested.
NutHow it works
Each day, look at how QQQ (a Nasdaq‑100 tracker) has changed over the last 10 trading days. If QQQ is roughly flat (about between −1% and +1%), buy NAIL, a 3× leveraged ETF tied to U.S. homebuilders and suppliers. Otherwise, hold BIL, a short‑term T‑bill fund. Rebalanced daily. NAIL is very volatile due to 3× leverage.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy targets ~22.7% annualized return vs SPY ~19.3%, with Calmar ~0.59. It shifts to safety in trends and to a 3x housing ETF when Nasdaq is calm, aiming for higher long-run gains with disciplined risk vs the S&P 500.

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.
