About

Weekly, it compares QQQ vs QQQE to judge mega‑cap strength. If mega‑caps lead, it buys one leveraged ETF tied to MSFT/AAPL/NVDA/META; otherwise it buys LLY or a 3× S&P 500 ETF. Chooses the lowest‑price option. High risk due to leverage.
NutHow it works
Each week it checks which is stronger over the past ~1 month: QQQ (Nasdaq‑100, weighted by company size) or QQQE (same 100 stocks, equal weight). If QQQ wins (mega‑caps leading), it buys one 1.5× bull ETF on MSFT/AAPL/NVDA/META (MSFU/AAPU/NVDU/FBL), picking the lowest share price. Otherwise it buys Eli Lilly (LLY) or a 3× S&P 500 ETF (SPXL), whichever is cheaper per share. Note: lowest price ≠ better value. Rebalances weekly.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~61% annualized return vs ~22% for the S&P, with solid risk metrics (oos Sharpe ~1.04; Calmar ~1.03). Higher drawdowns (~59% vs ~19%) reflect aggressive, leveraged bets for bold, upside-focused investors.

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.
