About

Daily, it uses KMLM (a managed‑futures ETF) as a signal to switch playbooks: if KMLM is weak, own the 10 strongest defensive stocks; if KMLM is strong, hold one safe bond/defensive ETF that just dipped. Equal‑weighted; rebalanced daily.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks KMLM, a managed‑futures ETF used as a weather vane. If KMLM is below its 200‑day average, it buys 10 equal‑weighted defensive stocks (utilities/healthcare/staples like JNJ, MRK, COST) with the strongest 14‑day RSI (a recent strength score). If KMLM is above, it holds 1 ETF from a safe list (bonds/XLU/XLV/XLP), choosing the one with the lowest 10‑day RSI (recently fell most). Rebalances daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample tested regime strategy switching daily between a defensive 10-stock basket and a single safe-ETF, aiming for lower drawdowns and steadier gains versus the S&P 500 by delivering downside protection with recovery 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.
