About

Buys the two hottest names from a fixed list of nine big U.S. tech stocks each month. It measures which rose the most over the past ~20 trading days, splits money 50/50 between those two, and rechecks monthly to rotate into new leaders.
NutHow it works
Each month, it looks at nine big tech stocks—Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN), Alphabet/Google (GOOG), Meta/Facebook (META), Nvidia (NVDA), Adobe (ADBE), PayPal (PYPL), and Snowflake (SNOW). It ranks them by last‑month price gain (~20 trading days), buys the top two equally, holds for a month, then repeats.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample momentum in 9 mega-cap techs rotates monthly into the leaders, delivering ~46.5% annualized return vs ~23.6% for the S&P, with Calmar ~1.72 and strong risk-adjusted upside. Note higher drawdowns and concentration risk.

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.
