About

Buys recent winners: from a basket of large, liquid stocks plus a few energy/uranium funds, it selects the two that rose the most over the past ~16 trading days, splits 50/50, and rebalances monthly. Very concentrated, so results can be volatile.
NutHow it works
Each month, it looks at how much each stock or fund on its list went up over roughly the last 16 trading days (~3–4 weeks). It ranks them by that recent gain, buys the top two in equal size (about 50% each), holds for a month, then repeats. The list is mostly big U.S. names plus a few energy/uranium funds and Canadian stocks.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return ~39% vs SPY ~21%; monthly momentum targeting top 2 leaders across tech/energy/uranium. Higher upside when trends persist, but expect higher volatility and larger drawdowns 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.
