About

Weekly tactic that gauges mega‑cap leadership by comparing QQQ vs. equal‑weight QQQE. If mega‑caps lead, hold one big tech (MSFT/AAPL/NVDA/META, lowest share price). Otherwise, hold SPY or LLY (lower share price). Repeats weekly.
NutHow it works
Each week, it checks which did better recently: QQQ (Nasdaq‑100 dominated by the biggest tech names) or QQQE (the equal‑weighted version). If QQQ is stronger, it buys ONE of MSFT, AAPL, NVDA, or META—the one with the lowest share price. Otherwise, it buys SPY or LLY—again, whichever has the lower share price.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample results show a clear edge: annualized ~63% vs SPY ~21%, Sharpe ~1.42 vs ~1.29, and Calmar ~2.0. Higher risk-adjusted returns with meaningful upside, though drawdowns can be larger in downturns—beats 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.
