About

A rules-based, daily strategy that toggles each of five big tech stocks into or out of the market. If short-term volatility beats short-term momentum (RSI), it holds the stock; otherwise it sits in SHV (ultra‑short U.S. Treasuries).
NutHow it works
Each day, split money evenly across 5 names: Nvidia, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, Alphabet (Google). For each slice, compare a 1‑week “choppiness” score (volatility) to a 2‑day “heat” score (RSI: a 0–100 gauge of recent buying vs. selling). If choppiness > heat, own the stock; otherwise park that slice in SHV (very short‑term U.S. Treasuries).
CheckmarkValue prop
OOS-strategy delivers superior risk-adjusted performance vs SPY: drawdown ~1% vs ~19%, Sharpe ~2.05 vs ~0.96, low beta ~0.10, Calmar ~7.12. Capital protection with meaningful upside.

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.
