About

Daily, rules-based global rotation. Backs international and EM stocks when they show stronger momentum than the U.S.; otherwise shifts to U.S. defense (gold, bonds, defensive sectors). Includes selective use of leveraged ETFs and currency/volatility hedges.
NutHow it works
Each day it compares international stocks (VEU) with U.S. stocks (SPY) using RSI, a 0–100 recent‑strength score. If VEU is stronger, it holds top‑trending international ETFs (some leveraged), adds EM country funds when EM is strong or safe‑havens if not, and sets a currency/USD/volatility hedge. If SPY is stronger, it uses a U.S. defensive sleeve: buy sharp dips in leveraged tech; otherwise hold gold or the most oversold bond/defensive sector.
CheckmarkValue prop
Backtested out-of-sample results show this strategy captured non-U.S. upside while cutting drawdowns via hedges and a defensive sleeve aiming for higher risk-adjusted returns 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.
