About

Each week it buys the 7 biggest recent winners (by ~2‑week price gains) from a list of 26 large, liquid U.S. stocks, and splits the money evenly among them. It continually rotates into the current leaders.
NutHow it works
It keeps a list of 26 big, well-known U.S. companies across many industries (e.g., Apple/AAPL, Microsoft/MSFT, Walmart/WMT, Exxon/XOM, Eli Lilly/LLY, Novo Nordisk/NVO, Berkshire Hathaway/BRK/B, The Trade Desk/TTD, e.l.f. Beauty/ELF). Each week, it looks at which ones rose the most over roughly the last 10 trading days, buys the top 7, and splits the money evenly. Next week it repeats and rotates if the leaders change.
CheckmarkValue prop
Weekly momentum rotation among 26 mega-cap leaders (top 7, equal-weight) offers better downside protection and solid risk-adjusted gains. OOS: 14.5% return, 15.5% max drawdown, Calmar 0.93, vs SPY's higher drawdown and volatility.

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.
