About

A very simple, low-risk setup that puts 100% of your money into the SPDR BIL short-term government-debt ETF, with daily checks to stay in that one asset.
NutHow it works
JustBIL is a strategy that holds 100% of its value in the SPDR Bloomberg 1-3 Month T-Bill ETF (BIL). BIL itself is designed to track the performance of very short-term U.S. Treasury bills (1–3 months to maturity). Rebalancing daily means the system checks the value of the position each trading day and adjusts the holdings to ensure the portfolio remains fully invested in BIL. Since there’s only one asset, rebalancing mainly ensures you stay on that single asset and don’t drift into cash or other investments by mistake. The portfolio’s behavior is essentially: if you have money, you buy BIL; if price moves, you still hold BIL to maintain a 100% allocation to BIL. You’re not taking bets on stock prices; you’re parking money in a very safe, government-backed instrument and earning whatever small interest the instrument provides.
CheckmarkValue prop
Preserve capital with 100% BIL and daily rebalancing. Out-of-sample shows ultra-low drawdown and stellar risk-adjusted return (Calmar ~371), delivering ~4% annualized return with far less downside than 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.
