About

Buy the dip in volatile tech/AI/crypto names only when the overall market is trending up; otherwise sit in T‑Bills (BIL). Equal‑weight 4 stocks, selected daily from a curated list by volatility and recent underperformance.
NutHow it works
First check the market’s health: if the S&P 500 (SPY) is above its ~9‑month average price, go risk‑on. Then from a hand‑picked list (mostly tech/AI/semis/crypto), find the 10 biggest movers lately and buy the 4 that have recently dropped the most. Split money evenly. If SPY is below trend, sit in T‑Bills (BIL). Recheck daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Targets tech uptrends by buying recent losers in volatile names and preserves capital by shifting to Treasuries in downturns. Diversifies beyond SPY, but out-of-sample data show negative returns and larger drawdowns—suitable for risk-tolerant, long-term investors.

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.
