About

Uses Micron’s price trend to switch: in a MU uptrend, own semiconductors (SMH); otherwise own the S&P 500 (SPY). Always invested, rebalanced daily.
NutHow it works
Each day, it looks at Micron Technology (MU). If MU’s recent 20‑day average price is above its 50‑day average (an uptrend), it buys SMH—the semiconductor stock fund. Otherwise it buys SPY—the S&P 500 fund. MU signals the chip cycle; SMH = concentrated semis, SPY = broad market. Rebalances daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~43% annualized return and ~1.47 Sharpe vs SPY's ~16% and ~0.91. A disciplined MU-trend rotation between SMH and SPY aims for higher upside with strong risk-adjusted performance.

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.
