About

Monthly trend-and-momentum plan. If the S&P 500 is trending up, hold the 4 strongest large US stocks and keep a cash cushion; if trending down, rotate into the 3 strongest of utilities, communications, bonds, metals, or oil ETFs.
NutHow it works
Once a month it checks SPY (an S&P 500 fund): is its 15‑day average price above its 60‑day average? - If yes: put about 75% equally into the 4 best-performing big US stocks (last ~7 weeks). The rest sits in cash. - If no: put everything equally into the 3 best (last ~2 weeks) of XLU (utilities), XLC (communications), SCHZ (bonds), XME (metals), XOP (oil).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample tested: up markets: 4 momentum stocks with cash; down markets: 3 defensive ETFs. Historically reduces drawdowns and improves risk-adjusted returns vs. 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.
