About

Two‑ETF rotation: each day compare past‑30‑day gains of U.S. stocks (SPY) vs Asia‑Pacific developed stocks (IPAC). Invest 100% in the recent winner. Simple momentum that shifts between U.S. tech‑heavy and APAC industrials/financials exposures, with FX and turnover risks.
NutHow it works
Each day it picks 1 of 2 stock funds by their last‑30‑day total change. SPY = big U.S. companies (S&P 500: Apple, Microsoft, etc.). IPAC = Asia‑Pacific developed markets (mainly Japan and Australia, plus Hong Kong/Singapore). If SPY did better, put 100% in SPY; otherwise 100% in IPAC. This “recent leader wins” rule can switch often. U.S. is more tech‑heavy; IPAC leans industrials/financials and adds foreign‑currency exposure.
CheckmarkValue prop
Rotates between SPY and IPAC by 1-month leaders, staying fully invested in the winner. Out-of-sample return 26.7% vs 16.3% for the S&P 500; lower drawdown (13.4% vs 18.8%), higher Sharpe (1.55 vs 0.92), and lower beta (~0.77).

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.
