About

Daily, it picks the strongest of tech, S&P 500, emerging markets, or energy. If that theme’s short‑term strength beats KMLM’s, it buys a leveraged fund; otherwise it holds the strongest defensive asset (KMLM/TLT/UUP/GLD/FTLS). Single holding, checked daily.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks four themes—US tech (XLK), S&P 500 (SPY), emerging markets (EEM), energy (VDE)—and picks the best 10‑day performer. If that theme’s short‑term strength (RSI: a 0–100 gauge of recent gains) beats KMLM’s (a trend‑following managed‑futures fund), it buys a matching leveraged ETF (TQQQ/SPXL/EDC/DIG). Otherwise it buys the strongest defensive choice (KMLM, TLT, UUP, GLD or FTLS). One fund at a time; reviewed daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Dynamic, rules-based regime shifts across tech/EM/energy with daily rebalancing. OOS annualized return ~5.46%, Sharpe ~0.344, max drawdown ~36.23%, Calmar ~0.151—offers risk-managed diversification versus the S&P 500, not just raw growth.

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.
