About

In practice this holds 100% TQQQ—a 3× leveraged fund tied to the Nasdaq‑100—picked via short-term strength and “least recent drop” screens. Daily rebalanced, very volatile, concentrated in big U.S. tech names.
NutHow it works
Each day it ranks choices by: recent strength (total change over ~10–20 trading days; stronger is better) and recent damage (biggest drop from a recent peak over ~50 days; smaller is better). It then buys the top pick(s) equally. Here the only choice is TQQQ, a fund that seeks 3× the Nasdaq‑100’s daily move, so it ends up 100% in TQQQ. Highly volatile, big‑tech‑heavy.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return ~37.5% vs SPY ~16.7%. Tech-led upside with higher risk: max drawdown ~56.8% vs ~18.8% for SPY; Calmar ~0.66. Suitable for risk-tolerant, tech-focused investors seeking big gains.

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.
