About

Weekly momentum toggle: if top‑heavy Nasdaq‑100 (QQQ) beats its equal‑weight twin (QQQE), own Microsoft, Apple, Nvidia equally; otherwise hold Eli Lilly. A simple way to follow or sidestep mega‑cap tech leadership.
NutHow it works
Each week, it checks which did better over the last ~20 trading days: QQQ (a Nasdaq‑100 fund dominated by the biggest tech names) or QQQE (an equal‑weighted version where each stock counts the same). If QQQ is stronger, it splits money equally into Microsoft, Apple, and Nvidia. If not, it puts everything into Eli Lilly. It repeats this check weekly and rebalances.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy delivers stronger risk-adjusted returns vs the S&P: ~52.7% annualized vs ~21.4%; Sharpe ~1.63 vs 1.28; alpha ~0.21%; Calmar ~2.19—achieved by a disciplined tech leadership to healthcare rotation.

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.
