About

Weekly rotation: QQQ vs QQQE momentum decides one-asset exposure—cheapest YieldMax mega-cap ETF if cap-weighted leadership wins, else Eli Lilly (LLY).
NutHow it works
Every week: (1) calculate the 20-day momentum of QQQ and QQQE. (2) If QQQ momentum > QQQE momentum, pick the cheapest among MSFO (YieldMax MSFT), APLY (YieldMax AAPL), NVDY (YieldMax NVDA), FBY (YieldMax META) and invest 100% in that one ETF. (3) If not, invest 100% in LLY (Eli Lilly). (4) Rebalance weekly to reflect the signal. The strategy uses cash weighting to a single asset at each rebalance and does not build a basket of assets. The YieldMax ETFs themselves use option-writing strategies to generate income and carry risks distinct from the underlying mega-caps.

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.
