About

A monthly momentum strategy that ranks AAPL, MSFT, NVDA, and TSLA by their 10-period moving-average return and invests entirely in the top-ranked stock each month.
NutHow it works
Here’s how it works in plain language: - On the first day of every month, evaluate four popular stocks: AAPL, MSFT, NVDA, and TSLA. - For each stock, look at its recent price Changes over the last 10 price points and compute their average change. This is the moving-average-return score. - Compare the four scores and pick the one with the highest score (the stock with the strongest recent uptrend). - Put all your available cash into that single stock (since only one stock is chosen, you end up with 100% in that stock for the month). - Next month, repeat the process from scratch and adjust the position if another stock has the strongest momentum. - If no stock stands out (tie or very weak momentum), the system would default to holding cash or the equal-weighting rule would apply, but with the top-1 filter, you’d typically still end up in the top stock. Notes for a layperson: - The “moving-average-return” is a simple way to measure trend direction and strength over recent history. - The strategy favors stocks that have been climbing recently and discards those without a clear uptrend. - Because it invests in just one stock at a time, it is a straightforward, easy-to-understand approach but comes with concentration risk.

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.
