About

Weekly, it tests whether mega-cap tech is leading (QQQ vs QQQE). If yes, pair cash with one YieldMax option-income ETF tied to MSFT/AAPL/NVDA/META; if not, pair cash with Eli Lilly. Seeks mega-cap strength with a cash cushion.
NutHow it works
Each week, it checks which is doing better lately: QQQ (top-heavy in mega-cap tech) or QQQE (equal-weighted). If QQQ is stronger, it keeps about half in cash and puts the rest in one option-income ETF tied to MSFT/AAPL/NVDA/META (the one with the lowest share price). Otherwise, it splits between cash and Eli Lilly (LLY).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy delivers stronger risk-adjusted returns vs the S&P: Sharpe 1.95 vs 1.29, Calmar 3.63, annualized ~84% vs ~22%. It uses a cash cushion and regime-driven tilts to mega-cap tech or Eli Lilly for downside protection.

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.
