About

A weekly switch guided by QQQ vs QQQE. If mega‑caps are leading, it buys the lowest‑priced of MSFT/AAPL/NVDA/META (typically NVDA). Otherwise it buys the lower‑priced of SPY or Eli Lilly (usually SPY), concentrating risk in a single holding.
NutHow it works
Each week it checks which has done better over the last month: QQQ (mega‑cap‑tilted Nasdaq‑100) or QQQE (equal‑weighted Nasdaq‑100). If QQQ is stronger, it buys one big tech—the lowest share‑price among MSFT (Microsoft), AAPL (Apple), NVDA (NVIDIA), META (Meta; usually NVDA). If not, it buys the lower‑priced of SPY (S&P 500) or LLY (Eli Lilly; usually SPY). This leans into mega‑cap tech when they lead; otherwise it sits in the broad U.S. market.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample data show high risk-adjusted upside versus the S&P: Sharpe ~1.44 vs 1.29; annualized return ~66% vs 22%; Calmar ~2.11. Drawdowns can be larger (~31% vs ~19%), but the upside potential is compelling.

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.
