About

A daily switcher between NVIDIA and Eli Lilly. It uses signals from volatility (VIX), tech vs utilities, junk bonds, gold, and Nasdaq volatility to judge risk-on vs risk-off. Prefers NVDA in calm/risk-on; LLY in stress/risk-off; can split 50/50 if mixed.
NutHow it works
Each day it holds NVIDIA (NVDA) or Eli Lilly (LLY)—sometimes half-and-half. It reads market mood with ETFs: VIX (volatility), tech (QQQ), utilities (XLU), junk bonds (JNK), and gold (GLD), using a speed/heat score (RSI, 0–100). If stress is rising but risk assets lead, it leans NVDA; if stress or volatility is high, it favors LLY; in calm, NVDA.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this NVDA/LLY daily switcher delivers ~39.7% annualized returns vs SPY ~19.1%, with Calmar ~1.11. It harnesses tech upside and defensive hedges in stress, offering higher long-term growth for risk-tolerant investors with drawdowns.

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.
