About

A monthly, rules-based toggle between Nvidia and Eli Lilly using SPY’s recent volatility: 50/50 in very calm or very rough markets; all Eli Lilly when it’s middling. Concentrated exposure to tech (AI chips) and healthcare (obesity/diabetes).
NutHow it works
It holds only two stocks: Nvidia (NVDA, semiconductors/AI chips) and Eli Lilly (LLY, pharmaceuticals/obesity & diabetes drugs). Each month it checks how “bumpy” the S&P 500 (SPY) was over ~1 month. - If bumps are tiny (<1%) or very big (>=2%): hold 50% NVDA / 50% LLY. - If bumps are in-between (1–2%): hold 100% LLY. Always fully invested; sectors: tech + healthcare.
CheckmarkValue prop
Aggressive upside with disciplined risk: out-of-sample annualized return ≈29%, Sharpe ≈0.92, Calmar ≈1.00. A volatility-tuned NVDA/LLY rotation aims to outperform SPY in growth and resilience, with clear rules and monthly rebalances.

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.
