About

First check if the market is in an uptrend. In uptrends, ride a single standout (Monster Beverage) when momentum is very strong; otherwise split between SPY and QQQ. In downtrends, buy tech on sharp selloffs or stay defensive in consumer staples.
NutHow it works
Tickers: SPY=S&P 500 (US stocks), QQQ=Nasdaq‑100 (big tech), MNST=Monster Beverage (energy drinks), XLK=Tech, XLP=Consumer Staples. RSI is a 0–100 “speed/heat” gauge; >80 very hot, <30 washed‑out. Uptrend test = short‑term price above long‑term. Rules: If SPY is in an uptrend: if QQQ RSI(10)>80 or SPY RSI(10)>80 or SPY RSI(60)>60 → hold MNST; else 50/50 SPY+QQQ. If not an uptrend: if QQQ RSI(10)<30 → XLK; else XLP.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample return: 21.78% vs 21.43% for the S&P; drawdown 12.8% vs 18.8%; beta 0.87; Calmar ~1.70. Momentum-driven strategy offering stronger downside protection and competitive upside vs the S&P 500.

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.
