About

Allocates 15% to emerging‑market stock ETFs. Uses two VWO trend checks; if up, buys the two best recent performers, else holds EEM. Equal‑weights the two sleeves and rebalances daily.
NutHow it works
Puts 15% of the portfolio in emerging‑market stock ETFs. It runs two checks on VWO’s price trend: a faster and a slower one. If a check says the trend is up, it buys the two EM funds that rose the most over the last week; if not, it holds EEM. Both parts are equal‑weighted. Rebalanced daily.

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.
