About

A daily “buy the dip” rotation among six bond funds. It picks the one with the weakest recent price (lowest RSI) across mortgage, municipal, and corporate bond funds, holds it for a day, then rechecks.
NutHow it works
Each day the strategy looks at 6 bond funds traded on the stock market: BKT (mortgage bonds), NAN/MMU/PMM/EVN (municipal bonds; NAN is NY-only), and VBF (investment‑grade corporates). It scores recent price moves with a 0–100 “RSI” gauge (low = recently fell). It buys only the one with the lowest score (the most “oversold”) and holds it until the next day, then repeats. Expect frequent trading.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: Sharpe 3.82 vs 2.90, Calmar ~17, annualized return ~28.5% (vs 28.4% S&P), and negative beta. Daily bond-CEF rotation offers higher risk-adjusted gains and diversification beyond 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.
