About

Usually holds QQQ. After a sharp 5‑day slump (>5%), it briefly uses leveraged funds: goes 2x short (QID) if there was a strong one‑day bounce, otherwise 2x long (QLD). Focused on Nasdaq‑100 tech/growth, rebalanced daily.
NutHow it works
Each day: If QQQ (a fund tracking the Nasdaq‑100) fell >5% over the last 5 trading days, switch to leverage mode. In that case: if yesterday QQQ rose >1%, hold QID (2x inverse of QQQ); otherwise hold QLD (2x long QQQ). If no 5‑day drop, hold QQQ. 100% in one fund; rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: 28.4% annualized return, Sharpe ~1.03 vs SPY ~0.78, Calmar ~1.01. Nasdaq-100 tilt uses disciplined 2x levered bets after dips, yielding stronger risk-adjusted gains than the S&P 500 (with higher 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.
