About

When the S&P 500 is in an uptrend, hold 10 sector/style ETFs plus gold, sized by recent stability; when it’s not, move fully to short-term T-Bills. Rebalanced daily.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks if US stocks are rising: is SPY (an S&P 500 fund) above its average over ~200 trading days? If yes, it owns 10 ETFs—Dow 30 (DIA), large-cap value (IWX), small-caps (IWM), dividends (SCHD), energy (VDE, XLE), industrials (XLI), aerospace/defense (ITA), metals/mining (XME), and gold (GLD). It gives bigger weights to funds that were steadier over ~50 days. If not, it parks everything in short-term T-Bills (BIL). Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample results suggest this strategy captures competitive upside in uptrends while delivering substantially lower drawdowns, thanks to regime shifts to T-Bills and a volatility-weighted, diversified ETF mix.

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.
