About

Daily chip-stock rotation: 60% to the past 5‑day winner, 40% spread by stability across AMD, INTC, NVDA, TSM. If the Nasdaq‑100 (QQQ) fell over 5 days, shift fully to gold (GLD). v5.3 uses a faster 5‑day filter and swapped in TSM for QCOM.
NutHow it works
Each day: If QQQ’s last 5‑day return is positive, put 60% into whichever of AMD, INTC, NVDA, TSM rose the most over 5 days. Put the other 40% across all four, giving more to the steadier ones (lower 20‑day volatility). If QQQ’s last 5 days are negative, move 100% to GLD (gold). AMD/INTC/NVDA/TSM = big chipmakers; QQQ = Nasdaq‑100; GLD = gold.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample data show higher risk-adjusted returns vs the S&P 500. Fast chip-momentum with a GLD hedge—captures rallies and shifts to gold in drawdowns, with daily rebalancing to control 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.
