About

A simple two‑fund switch between Asia‑Pacific (IPAC) and Europe (IEUR). It always buys the region that lagged over the last 30 days, holding 100% in that one fund until the next check.
NutHow it works
This strategy picks one of two broad stock funds outside the U.S.: IPAC (Asia‑Pacific: Japan, Australia, etc.) or IEUR (Europe: Germany, UK, France, etc.). Each check, it compares their total change over the last 30 days. If Asia‑Pacific did worse, it owns IPAC; otherwise it owns IEUR. It holds 100% in that single fund until the next check.

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.
