About

Simple daily switch: if a 30‑day momentum score on a leveraged emerging‑markets ETF is strong (>60), own Brent oil via BNO; otherwise sit in short‑term Treasuries via BIL.
NutHow it works
Each day the strategy looks at a momentum score on EDC, a fast‑moving emerging‑markets ETF. The score (RSI over ~30 trading days) compares recent gains vs. losses; above 60 means strong upward tone. If it’s > 60, buy BNO (Brent oil ETF). If not, hold BIL (T‑bills).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~34% annualized return vs ~29% for the S&P, solid risk-adjusted profile (Calmar ~3.30). Oil/EM momentum diversification can boost upside while a cash leg helps limit 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.
