About

Own four mega‑cap stocks at a time: 2 tech names with steady recent gains and 2 defensive giants with the strongest ~10‑month results. Rebalanced monthly, 25% each, aiming to beat broad indexes using simple momentum rules (no guarantees).
NutHow it works
Once a month, split the portfolio 50/50 into two baskets. - Mega‑Cap Tech (Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Nvidia, etc.): pick the 2 with the most steady ~6‑month gains (average daily return over ~135 trading days). - Mega‑Cap Non‑Cyclicals (healthcare, staples, payments, Berkshire, etc.): pick the 2 with the best ~10‑month total return (~220 trading days). Put 25% in each and repeat monthly.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this 4-stock momentum strategy blends steady mega-cap tech with defensive mega-caps, delivering ~50.6% annualized return vs ~20.2% for the S&P, with higher Sharpe (~1.69) and strong risk-adjusted returns (Calmar ~1.84). Drawdowns may be larger.

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.
