About

Daily, it rotates between NVIDIA and Eli Lilly using simple market “weather” gauges (volatility, tech strength, utilities, junk bonds, gold). Calm = NVDA; choppy/defensive = LLY. Under high fear, two votes decide; in extremes, a gold check tilts to LLY.
NutHow it works
It flips between NVIDIA (NVDA, big-chip/AI) and Eli Lilly (LLY, large pharma). Each day it reads “market weather” from ETFs used as gauges: VIXM (volatility), QQQ (big tech), XLU (utilities), JNK (junk bonds), GLD (gold). If fear is rising, two tests (utilities vs tech, and junk bonds vs tech) vote for NVDA or LLY—if split, it holds both 50/50. In normal times, calm tech markets favor NVDA; choppy ones favor LLY. In very wild markets, a gold check tilts it to LLY. It never buys the ETFs.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return ~39.7% vs S&P ~19%; Calmar ~1.11 and Sharpe ~0.99 signal solid risk-adjusted gains. A rules-based NVDA/LLY rotation targets growth and quality, avoiding ETFs. Higher drawdowns (~36%) in crises are possible.

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.
