About

Daily rule: if SPY’s recent 2‑week average gain beats KMLM’s, go 100% SPY. Otherwise hold 50% KMLM, 25% SPY, 25% BIL. Seeks to ride stock strength and use a managed‑futures/cash mix when stocks lag.
NutHow it works
Each day it compares the last ~10 trading days’ average gains for SPY and KMLM. If SPY’s is higher, it holds 100% SPY (US large stocks). Otherwise it holds 50% KMLM (managed‑futures trends in commodities/currencies/bonds), 25% SPY, 25% BIL (T‑bills, cash‑like). Rebalances daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge vs the S&P 500: Sharpe ~0.95, annualized ~11%, drawdown ~12.8% (vs SPY ~18.8%), Calmar ~0.86. A diversified sleeve of managed futures + cash lowers downside while preserving upside potential.

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.
