About

If the defense ETF ITA’s 3‑day trend beats its 7‑day trend, buy the 3 best recent performers from a defense/Israel list. Otherwise, split equally into energy names (OIH, XLE, UUUU, VLO, XOM). Equal-weight; adjust when rules change (~3% drift).
NutHow it works
It watches ITA (a broad U.S. aerospace-and-defense fund). If its average gain over the past 3 days is higher than over the past 7, momentum is “on.” Then it equally buys the top 3 of recent 90‑day winners from defense/Israel tickers (e.g., LMT, NOC, ITA, DFEN, EIS, MBLY). Otherwise, it equally holds OIH, XLE, UUUU, VLO, XOM. No set rebalance; changes when rules flip (≈3% drift). Note: UNH/COST aren’t used; ITA (not DFEN) drives the signal.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy delivers ~44% annualized return vs ~25% for the S&P, with Calmar ~1.11 and Sharpe ~1.28. Note higher drawdowns (~40%) but meaningful upside potential.

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.
