About

Weekly toggle: if mega‑caps are beating the average Nasdaq‑100 stock (QQQ > QQQE), hold one YieldMax ETF linked to MSFT/AAPL/NVDA/META (lowest share price). Otherwise hold Eli Lilly (LLY). Concentrated, tech/healthcare tilt; option-income funds cap upside.
NutHow it works
Once a week, it checks which did better recently: QQQ (Nasdaq‑100, dominated by the biggest companies) or QQQE (the equal‑weight version that treats every member the same). If QQQ > QQQE, mega‑caps are leading. It then buys ONE YieldMax ETF tied to MSFT, AAPL, NVDA, or META—the one with the lowest share price. These funds use options to turn those stocks into income, which also caps much of the upside. If QQQ ≤ QQQE, it buys Eli Lilly (LLY), a large healthcare company. Hold until the next weekly check.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: Sharpe ~1.93 vs SPY ~1.29, annualized return ~81.5% vs 21.5%, Calmar ~3.51, drawdowns ~23% vs 19%. A regime-switching tilt to mega-cap income plays or LLY targets higher, steadier risk-adjusted gains than the S&P 500.

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.
