About

Weekly strategy that uses QQQ vs QQQE to judge if mega‑caps are leading. If yes: buy one 1.5x ETF on MSFT/AAPL/NVDA/META (lowest share price). If not: buy LLY or SPXL (lower price). Rebalance weekly.
NutHow it works
Each week it checks who led over the last month: QQQ (Nasdaq‑100, tilted to the biggest names) vs QQQE (same stocks, equal‑weight). If QQQ did better, it buys one 1.5x daily bull ETF tied to MSFT/AAPL/NVDA/META (MSFU/AAPU/NVDU/FBL), picking the one with the lowest share price. Otherwise it buys the lower‑priced of LLY (Eli Lilly) or SPXL (3x S&P 500). Hold for a week, then repeat.
CheckmarkValue prop
Regime-driven mega-cap leadership strategy with outsized upside: oos annualized return ~51% vs S&P 500 ~21%, oos Sharpe ~0.96, Calmar ~0.87. Weekly rotations aim for big gains, but come with higher drawdown risk (~59%).

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.
