About

A simple on/off switch: if QQQ’s ~3‑year gain is very strong (>~42%), sit in T‑bills (BIL). Otherwise, bet aggressively on a 3x Nasdaq‑100 fund (TQQQ). Very concentrated and risky when “on,” and may miss rallies when “off.”
NutHow it works
It checks how much the Nasdaq-100 (QQQ) gained over about 690 trading days (~3 years). If that gain is above ~42%, it parks in BIL (short‑term U.S. T‑bills). Otherwise it goes all‑in on TQQQ, a fund that targets 3x QQQ’s daily moves. It only switches when this test flips.
CheckmarkValue prop
Adaptive, binary Nasdaq timing: switch between 3x QQQ and short-term Treasuries based on a 3-year momentum signal. Out-of-sample return ~19.87% vs S&P ~19.11%, with disciplined risk controls and manageable 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.
