About

A monthly, one‑holding strategy. If the market trend is up, own the single best 3‑month performer from big tech/blue chips; if not, own the best‑performing bond ETF. It tries to ride strength and sidestep downturns with a simple trend switch.
NutHow it works
Each month: 1) If SPY (S&P 500 ETF) is above its 200‑day average, go “Risk ON”; otherwise, “Risk OFF.” 2) Risk ON: buy the single best ~3‑month performer from Apple, Nvidia, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Lockheed Martin, Exxon Mobil, Costco, T‑Mobile, or SHY (short‑term Treasuries). 3) Risk OFF: buy the best of TLT, JNK, SHY, or MUB.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy dramatically outperforms SPY on risk-adjusted terms: about 60% annualized return vs ~15% for SPY, Sharpe ~1.87 vs ~0.86, Calmar ~2.58, and a low beta ~0.49—delivering higher upside with disciplined trend-based risk control.

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.
