About

A simple daily switch based on whether corporate bonds or oil look stronger. Strong credit → own QQQ (big U.S. tech). Strong oil → own USO and KMLM (commodities + managed futures) to lean into inflation/trend regimes.
NutHow it works
Daily, it compares a 10‑day “strength” score (RSI = more recent up days vs down days) for CORP (investment‑grade corporate bond fund) to USO (oil). If CORP is stronger, buy QQQ (big U.S. tech). Otherwise, split between USO and KMLM (a diversified trend‑following futures fund).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, a simple RSI regime switch moves between growth (QQQ) and inflation/trend hedges (USO+KMLM). With Calmar ~3.19, it offers solid risk-adjusted diversification beyond the S&P 500 and disciplined drawdowns.

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.
