About

A weekly, rules‑based “manager of managers” that rotates into top recent winners when markets are healthy, shifts to T‑Bills if they’re weak, and tilts between equity‑heavy and alternative‑heavy mixes based on a simple S&P 500 trend signal.
NutHow it works
It builds two mini‑portfolios each week. 1) Quick market check: If the S&P 500 lost money over the last month, it parks in T‑Bills (BIL). If not, it buys the 3 strongest recent performers from a list of asset‑manager stocks plus gold/commodities/SPY. 2) Trend check: If the S&P’s short‑term average is above its long‑term average, it holds a “risk‑on” mix (S&P funds plus diversifiers). If not, it shifts to a more defensive, alternative‑heavy mix. All picks are held in equal slices.
CheckmarkValue prop
Weekly, rules-based rotation: chase momentum in up markets, shift to T-Bills in downturns, with risk-on/off tilts. OOS: Sharpe 1.32, Calmar 1.31, beta 0.36, max drawdown 13.22%. Strong risk-adjusted profile vs SPY.

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.
