About

A simple “winner-takes-all” switch between U.S. (SPY) and U.K. (EWU) stock markets based on which had the better ~200‑day performance. Rechecked daily; always 100% in the current leader.
NutHow it works
Each day, it looks back about 200 trading days (~10 months) and compares the total gain of two funds: SPY (U.S. stocks) and EWU (U.K. stocks). If SPY did better, it holds SPY 100%. Otherwise it holds EWU 100%. It rechecks daily and switches when the leader changes. In SPY you’re tilted to U.S. large caps (tech-heavy); in EWU to U.K. large caps (more financials/energy) and GBP/USD currency moves.
CheckmarkValue prop
Simple, rule-based momentum that always bets on the current leader (US or UK). Out-of-sample: risk-adjusted edge (Calmar ~0.50, Sharpe ~0.67) and currency diversification versus SPY, with transparent daily switching.

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.
