About

Weekly switch based on leadership: if the size‑weighted Nasdaq fund (QQQ) is trending better than its equal‑weight twin (QQQE), hold MSFT/AAPL/NVDA equally; otherwise hold Eli Lilly (LLY). Concentrated exposure to big tech or healthcare.
NutHow it works
Each week, it checks leadership in the Nasdaq. QQQ is the size‑weighted Nasdaq‑100 fund (the biggest names like Apple, Microsoft, NVIDIA dominate). QQQE owns the same 100 but gives each stock equal weight. If QQQ’s recent ~1‑month trend beats QQQE’s, it splits money equally into MSFT, AAPL, and NVDA. If not, it moves entirely into Eli Lilly (LLY), a large drugmaker. Result: it shifts between big‑tech and healthcare based on which group is leading. Rebalances weekly.
CheckmarkValue prop
Weekly signal-driven shift between mega-cap tech (MSFT/AAPL/NVDA) and Eli Lilly, based on leadership. Out-of-sample: Sharpe 1.65 vs SPY 1.28; annualized return 53% vs 21%; Calmar 2.22. Higher risk-adjusted upside vs 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.
