About

Rides strength in big chip stocks day‑to‑day (60% in the current 5‑day leader, 40% favoring steadier peers). If the Nasdaq‑100 weakens, it switches to gold when rising or to short‑term T‑bills when gold is falling.
NutHow it works
Daily steps: 1) Check QQQ (Nasdaq‑100 ETF) 5‑day return. If it’s positive, go on offense; if negative, go to defense. 2) Offense (semiconductors): - Put 60% in the best 5‑day performer among AMD, INTC, NVDA, TSM (large chipmakers). - Spread 40% across all four, giving more to the steadier ones (lower 20‑day volatility). 3) Defense: If GLD (gold ETF) is up over 3 days, hold GLD; otherwise hold BIL (T‑bills ETF).
CheckmarkValue prop
A regime-aware strategy that rides chip leadership in rallies and defends with gold or cash when tech falters. Based on out-of-sample testing, it aims for higher risk-adjusted returns and lower drawdowns than 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.
