About

A daily, buy‑the‑dip strategy. If the Nasdaq‑100 (QQQ) is very beaten down, buy it; else if the S&P 500 (SPY) is, buy it. Otherwise split between whichever is more beaten down among Consumer Staples (XLP), Health Care (XLV), and long corporate bonds (IGLB).
NutHow it works
Rebalances daily using a 10‑day RSI (a 0–100 “recent move” score). 1) If QQQ’s RSI < 30, hold 100% QQQ. 2) Else if SPY’s RSI < 30, hold 100% SPY. 3) Otherwise split 50/50 across two choices: • Pick the weaker of XLP vs IGLB. • Pick the weaker of XLV vs IGLB.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: lower drawdown (3.6% vs 5.1% SPY), strong risk-adjusted returns (Sharpe 2.13, Calmar 5.80) and 20.95% annualized, delivering steadier growth and downside protection versus 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.
