About

Daily, if corporate bonds look stronger than oil, go 100% into QQQ (big tech). Otherwise hold USO (oil) and KMLM (managed futures) 50/50. A simple cross‑asset, momentum‑based regime switch with daily rebalancing.
NutHow it works
Each day, it compares a 10‑day strength score (RSI: 0–100, based on recent ups vs downs) for CORP (investment‑grade corporate bonds) and USO (oil). If CORP scores higher, buy QQQ (big tech) 100%. Otherwise split 50/50 between USO and KMLM (broad managed‑futures). CORP is only a signal.
CheckmarkValue prop
RSI-based regime-switching: 100% QQQ on CORP strength; otherwise 50/50 USO+KMLM. OOS: beta ~0.75, Calmar ~3.64, annualized return ~24.2% vs SPY ~27.9%. Strong risk-adjusted performance with diversification and growth exposure.

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.
