About

Weekly strategy that checks if the biggest Nasdaq-100 stocks are leading (QQQ vs QQQE). If yes, it rides one leveraged ETF tied to MSFT/AAPL/NVDA/META; otherwise it holds LLY or a 3x S&P 500 ETF. Keeps a large cash cushion.
NutHow it works
Each week it compares the past‑month average return of two Nasdaq‑100 funds: QQQ (dominated by the biggest names) vs QQQE (equal‑weighted). If QQQ is stronger, it buys one bullish 1.5x ETF tied to Microsoft (MSFU), Apple (AAPU), Nvidia (NVDU), or Meta (FBL)—whichever has the lowest share price. Otherwise it buys Eli Lilly (LLY) or a 3x S&P 500 ETF (SPXL), again the lower‑price one. It holds a sizable cash position alongside the pick.
CheckmarkValue prop
Potential outperformance: ~51% annualized return vs ~21% for the S&P, driven by a weekly mega-cap leadership signal and a built-in cash cushion. Higher upside when mega-caps lead; trade-off is larger drawdowns (~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.
