About

Own SPY in uptrends. If the market is weak, hold XLP for defense—unless tech is very sold off, then buy XLK for a rebound. Always 100% in one ETF; trades only when these signals flip.
NutHow it works
1) Check SPY vs its 200-day average (a long-term trend line). If SPY is above it, buy SPY. 2) If SPY is below it, look at QQQ’s 10-day RSI (0–100 measure of recent selling/buying). If RSI > 30, buy XLP (defensive staples). If RSI ≤ 30 (very sold-off), buy XLK (technology). No scheduled rebalancing.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy beats the S&P on risk-adjusted terms: 26.5% annualized return vs 22.2%, Sharpe ~1.57 vs 1.36, Calmar ~2.41, max drawdown ~11% vs ~18.8% (875-day track record).

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.
